Thanks Woody...
. Luthiers who have been building for decades seem to still have some. This set is honestly not been in Mark’s wood locker that long compared to some that I have seen. I believe he acquired it only about a decade ago. It is not beautifully figured like much of the stump wood we see of late, but it likely offers the benefit of physical stability. I tend to look for this in glassy, higher movement hardwood sets.

It is funny how that works. Forgetting your European and California instruments; I see Brondel, Fairbanks and Slobod (sounds like a law firm from New England
) I actually, if I think about it, I have worked with builders in Europe (France), East (Maine, New York, Pennsylvania and North Carolina); Mountains (Colorado) and West (California, Oregon and Washington State).
