It's not big enough for back and side sets but I was thinking possib...

Nice use of Rimu there Allan and a nicely figured neck, nice job :D :D :cl :cl Do you use the Bareknuckles almost exclusively now or were they customer's choice? . Bareknuckles, I wouldn't say exclusively, but I'm yet to find something better. You Don't Like Mick Brierly's Pick ups Allan ?

Re: Reliable Hygrometer Calibration for the Luthier

Yeah sure john , I realise that, but, I remember when we spoke about this ages ago I went off searching for a supplier and was unable to find anyone that could or would supply Potassium Carbonate in quantities small enough for calibrating a hygrometer.
