Re: New Luthier's Forum - LuthierforumAustraliaNewZealand.co
Hi Dennis I've read your post and I'm a bit taken back on your views of William Cumpiano! The guy is one of the most respected Luthiers of our time and makes various types of guitars not just Martin Copies! As the judge for a competition most of the time its a thankless task. I'm sorry he didn't lik...

Re: Australia misses out on Mario's wood
I know some of you have had bad experiences with Mario but to be honest I've been buying from him for the last 6 years and everything I've bought from him has been excellent :) I'm really picky about the wood I buy (as I know most of you are :)) and the wood has been 100% as described. I go to his a...

Re: Bandsaw Insert
Allen nice mod
For the blade insert on my bandsaw I turned a blank on my lathe and cut the blank into slices.
Once the slice gets worn I replace it with another, it seems to work well

Not only do I think you should be banned but I think you also should be flogged to within an inch of your life for showing that guitar!
Here's to a good dam thrashing sir!

Sorry its the Lowden guitar :) I tried to edit my post but it wouldn't let me :( here is what Adrian Lucas had to say about Pear though :) UK based luthier Adrian Lucas says “I have built a couple of guitars with pear wood.

I've had a weekend of tying up loose ends and getting several projects to the finishing stages. First up was a install of a DRO (digital read out) onto my milling machine.
