In terms of Dalbergias, John has quartersawn billets of Cocobolo, EIR and HRW. He purchased this wood >20-years ago. Both Mario’s and Benoit’s BRW guitars while both beautiful were to no surprise were flatsawn. BTW, I meant to say hi again at Woodstock a few weeks back. I thought that I saw you, but you were talking to someone...
LOL... By the time I was done Saturday I had dry mouth from all the talking.. The luthiers there do a great job with talking shop while still catering to potential clients. Wish I had met up with you and some of the other folks up there. Sucks to drive up 2 hours just to stay for 5. Forgot to bring my AGF badge from a few years ago.

Yeah, pretty rare to fine nicely quartered slabs of any rosewood that somehow didn't get sent out to be resawn.
