Default Ben Paldacci OM#10 - Koa & German Spruce
Hi Everyone!

I am happy to start a new thread. It is a great project because I use some incredible woods I've never worked with before: Koa and German Spruce.

So, I will post some pics and answer to all of your questions, as always. Sorry for the silence but I prefer to be in the shop these days (oh well, I think it is not so bad). It is always inspiring to take a look to the great work on this forum, and the fabulous comunity we are.

Cheers!

Hey Buddy! Thanks, Koa surely looks cool! I could find way much more impressive set, but this one is in my stash since 2014, November 13th and perfectly quartersawn. So, I think it was a great choice for this built!
