Same as the Ebony, Once in a while I will pick up a few sets of really spectacular Hardwood just so that I can "YES" when you ask me if I have any. |

This is the whole show. Top left is the secretary, bottom left is security, bottom middle is the braun of the operation, on the right is all my youthful ideas, and I'm in the middle. |

This is just one rack of high grade tops I keep in inventory |

That's me, palm sanding the tops to a 180 grit gloss to better show the SILK.

|
All of our tops start with handsplit billets such as these beauties supplied by Kootenay Tonewood.
Starting with a hand-hewn face reduces the chances of 'Run out'. |
