wood for wood

Post by JJ model » Tue Feb 24, 2009 10:36 am

Hi Folks,
Anyone interested to barter trade wood? I'm looking for tiger mrytle.
I have some nice monkeypod and malaysian blackwood.

Thanks,
Jeff

Why not organise a swapmeet here? If there's enough interest. I've got a set or two I wouldn't mind swapping for something else - no tiger myrtle though.

A swapmeet sounds like a great idea

Unfortunatley, I've got no time to organise it. New baby in the house and going to the US for three weeks in the next week or two. Shit, I haven't even had time to post pics of said baby.

I like the idea of wood for wood tho, rather than cash for wood - 'cause I got wood but minimal cash - babies are expensive little critters.

One of the other mods might want to run with this? Up to you fellas, and if there's any interest from everyone else.

I'm up for a long distance wood trade!! What I need are tiger myrtle blocks that I can acrylize for my knife handle business. Needs to be DRY wood, high figure markings. I can use clean blocks 1" thick by 2" wide by 6" long minimums. Would also like to get some DRY tiger myrtle fingerboard blanks minimum 3/8" thick for acrylic processing. cheers...Larry
Still searching for the mother of all figures.

Hi Guys,
Sorry for the long silence from here, I am working on a new instrument and just about putting on some strings. whew! 2 solid weeks.
I'm supposed to reply back about swaping some wood with you all, I'll get some pictures of the MB and post it here later.
Thanks again for your patience,
Jeff
