Sister Susan contacted me to build a guitar for Emily.  I told her to visit the site to see what was possible.  It got me thinking about my “overstock” of materials which I already have which could be used for Emily’s new guitar.  I have sitka spruce tops, engleman spruce tops, rosewood backs/sides, ovankol backs/sides, peruvian walnut backs/sides, and ziricote backs/sides.  Below are some images of the wood in stock.  Of course, we can order anything that suits.
