Today we went shopping for wood. I rented a zipcar and off we went. To go back in time for a second, I finished the final blueprints and finished buying all the parts. Very sweet.
We drove to a woodshop up in Rowley, Ma. They guy there is a bit out of his mind, but he has some really nices woods. Here is the shopping list:
-10BF of 8/4 Walnut
-6 BF of 4/4 Zebrawood
-1.9 BF of 4/4 cocobolo
-10BF of 8/4 Purpleheart
- 6 BF of 4/4 Wenge
Originally we were going to have a Bubinga fingerboard, but then we saw this beautiful piece of cocobolo and realized I was going to have the most beautiful fingerboard that has ever touched a musicians
hands.
Spent about $400 for the wood, not bad.
