YESTERDAY I got an email from my luthier friend George across town. He invited me to come and buy some choice woods that he was selling for the widow of a hobby guitar maker who had passed away before using all his wood. His message was irresistible, Brazilian Rosewood, Cocobolo,east indian Rosewood, Ebony, Cedar, Bubinga,
all at garage sale prices. Cash and Carry- who could resist- I was there early Sunday morning and came away with enough beautiful guitar sets to make backs and sides for at least 12 tenor ukes. The cost? $14.00 per uke. Wow what fun is that. Now I only need worry about using it all lest my wife have the same problem of selling off all the wood that I was not able to use up. I will need to live to age 110 to avoid that problem. I intend to.
