Gentlepeople,
My family and I just spend the weekend at my sister's house near Toronto. She was complaining that her husband, and amateur carpenter, has been going to auctions and buying up wood. I asked about the quantity and nature of this wood, and he happily showed me.
Holy. Crap.
He bought so much wood there is no longer any room to do any work in his garage/shop! It's stacked floor to ceiling. And there are some very fine pieces there in all mater of fine wood.
Some things he pulled out are some spalted maple boards. Very fine stuff.
And now I have a cunning plan. My plan is to make a spalted starcaster. Some details need to be worked out (like the basic design, finding someone with a CNC machine, etc), but all that wood just... just... sitting there is very inspiring.
Later,
Trevor
