I finished several guitars for a player a few years back and he told me about a luthier in his area who had some sets from "The Tree". I had no idea what that meant but it seemed like I should have been impressed. Once I heard the story I was impressed and the article in the link does a great job of telling it. Thanks for the post!!!
I've been down to these forests in Costa Rica and Mexico and they got some big trees. As strange as it sounds I spent a day on horseback in Oaxaca and the forest had a lot of the same kind of tree so I asked the guide what are these and he said mexican ebony (I believe it's katalox) and I said what do you do with it and he said makes good firewood. I don't if he was pulling my leg but there you go.
I think it would be cool if the Aaron would do a video tracking Alder from the forest to Warmoth. I'm pretty sure as a business expense it would be tax deductable. There could be a promo like these alder bodies came from this particular tree maybe an old big one from the great state of Washington. I know I mentioned this before but it would be fun ....
