a_arnold -> What is a resonable price for B/S? (Apr. 24 2010 13:57:59)

I'm an experienced woodworker, but I've never made a guitar and I'm thinking I will make my first soon, so I've been looking at some really beautiful Jacaranda Rosewood back/side sets. Spectacular grain. But I can't see it in person, only in web photos.

What is a reasonable price to pay for a set?

Is there anything I should know about working with rosewood or buying on the internet?

The more spectacular the grain is the the worse it may be for guitarmaking.
Flatsawn wood or stump/crotchwood moves much more with changes in humidity.
Plain straightgrained quartersawn wood is better for stability and ease of bending.

And to answer your question more fully, you can get a GREAT Indian rosewood set for under $!00.
If the "jacaranda rosewood" sets you referred to are the ones on ebay from an indonesian seller I would not recommend them.
