Neck woods. IR, Makassar, cocobolo, ziricote etc

Post by MBP » Sun Aug 21, 2011 12:33 pm

Hi guys,

First post here. Im from the north coast of NSW.

Great forum with heaps of info as well as heaps of like minded people :cl

I was wondering if anyone has a good supplier of 'exotic' neck materials, mainly for electrics.

Im looking of suppliers of neck blanks or slabs that can be cut up for necks.
Also after back and side sets of the above as well.

thanks and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Welcome to the forum.

Tim Spittle or any of our other preferred suppliers is a good start.

Hi MBP (what's your name,you can sign off with your name as Martin has done ) Where on the North Coast are you ? I just found some nice exotic wood at http://timberslabfactory.com.au/compone ... /Itemid,1/ this is at Mullimbimby, I bought a nice length of quarter sawn Aust red Cedar 1.8m long .125 wide by 35mm deep for $27. If you are further south Mal at boutique Timbers is always helpfull http://www.boutiquetimbers.com/2010/04/ ... ction.html

Cheers Tod :)

Hi,

I have some red cedar, im after woods for electric and I dont think the cedar would be stiff enough.

I have quite stash of wood but am after something a little different.
Thanks for the links as well.
