"Ric, all good wood is getting harder to find, especially in quantity."
Boy, you've got that right Lamey! Shedua used to be readily available and inexpensive, at least in regards to other quality riser woods. I believe one reason for the shortage of alot of the woods is that they are being bought up by luthiers. Good Macassar ebony is another example, although its currently easier to find Ebony than it is Shedua.
AdamH, I apologize for hijacking your thread...I'll quit complaining now. :-)
