I’m on board for some wood, I’ll pm my cell. I’m coming to terms with never flying again and it was that thing that made the rough things life tossed my way through the years tolerable. Was figuring how much I could spend on wood and wether to fly out to you or even drive etc and a buddy sends Craig’s list airplane add link to me, a cheap beater Cessna 150, and I’m like ¡****! It’s still more then I can afford… Got coved bad early this summer and I’m still having residual issues. Ya, it’s been a rough few years. Still, a whole lot of good out there for the taking, I’ll contribute to your next Spain adventure best I can ;) and my offer of coming out to Alaska for a few days or a few weeks still stand. HR pm sent

Thanks for the replies, guys. Yeah, I got hit a couple of years ago on all sides and it left me reeling, but things are looking up. The wood is bulky so I wouldn’t try to export it (although if I did a major road trip to Alaska I could just load some in the car). The other stuff has been on my mind for a while, circumstance has it that I haven’t even been building anything recently, mainly more just doing repair and restoration bread and butter type of work, which isn’t really my bent. I think I need to take the bull by the horns, downsize, relocate, and start over on a small scale. I don’t need all the stuff I have, it’s almost stifling me. At any rate, I’m going to spend some time taking inventory and try to place a value on what I can let go. Also decide what I should keep. I only need to keep enough wood for about 20 guitars, even less actually, although for wood like tops it’s nice to have a lot more than needed as it’s good to be able to paw through the pile and select the best piece to match the other woods, and stuff like that. It’s really hard to let wood go. Wood kind of has the same effect on me as the ring does on gollum, or gold on everybody else, it seems. I’m kind of addicted to it. The shop machinery is more a convenience and an efficiency. There’s not a lot I can’t do with hand tools if time and scale aren’t factors. So I can let a lot of that go if it gets in the way of downsizing.

Thanks, but I shouldn’t be on here complaining, so many others put up with much worse. Bit of a run of the wrong kind of luck, that’s all, but luck changes, and it will. Also, sometimes when you step in sh*t, it’s because you weren’t watching where you were going, lol, so it’s hard to bitch about that, lol.
