Default I paid too much for this.. but could not resist

Hello, I'm John kinnaird and I'm a wood-a-holic

But this cocobolo has incredible figure and as far as I, or anyone, else can tell it's quarter sawed, though there are so many swirls. And I'm pretty sure this will make two sets back and sides, plus fingerboard, overlays, bridges etc, etc.







Then there was the black walnut with curl. I need help.

I love and hate that feeling! But at the same time if you don't buy it... someone else will!

Smile Nice stash!

"woodaholic". I like that. I am sure loving my JK guitars. Played two loud big rooms acoustically today. The babies sure put out the BIG SOUND!!! And the sound is so Fat and Warm, too.

Sorry to hear all you beer money is tied up in wood, but someone will be stoked!

Cheers

Paul

W.A.S. is a Disease that is hard to stop
Even though I have more than I can ever use, I never stop looking for that perfect piece, and once it's gone, it's gone.
Beautiful piece of Coco and hard to replace. Good score

If it makes you feel any better, I'm struggling to come up with a number that I'd consider "too much" for that cocobolo.
