Thanks Ryan, that is really pretty. You guys have not done a mesquite guitar yet right? That might be something to consider for an all Texas guitar...Mesquite back and sides, Black Walnut binding (and neck?), Desert Ironwood (I think that grows in Tx) fretboard, but what could the top be? Loblolly pine???

Hey I’ve got the sister set to that. Maybe use a Texas Ebony fingerboard (another kind of mesquite) and red cedar for a top If you can find some without knots.. All Texas guitar.

Texas Ebony is great for binding, fretboard and bridge. We have used it plenty. I’m not sure desert ironwood makes it as far as west Texas. Just about anything can be used for necks. Top bracing may be the biggest challenge. An all Texas guitar. Now that sounds fun. |

Red cedar is very resonant. My only concern Is that it's a little fragile but its stiff so judicious bracing (not loblolly, maybe white pine) would do the trick.

Thanks Tom for the request and everyone else for the interest in Mesquite. I’m here all week if anyone has other requests.
Finishing up our Australian woods week, here’s a wood that was once known as Swan River Mahogany but is actually a type of eucalyptus. It does a pretty good job masquerading as waterfall Bubinga. Jarrah |

Thanks Dan! We have another set that has even more landscaping in it that we started to make for our good friend Bob Tucker. It was going to be something that he dreamed up akin to a 14 fret parlor 12 string. It now just sits in the rack calling to me.

A couple more set of wood for this week. This one should speak for itself.
