Do You See What I See?

[Believer7713]

Yesterday I was talking with one of the UC's at work and he told me about his farm and how he cuts his own trees for different projects. That led to him asking about guitar building and what kind of wood is used and so on.
This morning, to my surprise, he stopped by the station to bring me a gift that I wasn't expecting!!!

There's enough for two for sure! SCORE!
Now I GOTTA get the shop together!

I definitely will.be checking it. I do know it's been cut and seasoning for at least 2 1/2 years so it is good there. Will more than likely be waiting until late this year before doing anything with it though.

This came to mind. I'm weird.

 

[El Gobernador]

I see nu-THING!

 

[Eric_G]

OK excuse my ignorance but what`s a UC ?

An yes, nice score... will this be your first build from lumber ? I recall most of your build be based on pre-carve body !

In all cases, already looking forward to it !

 

[Murdog]

Assuming it's Northern I see future back issues. At least until cut to size.

Any time you get a sweet piece of Ash for nothing is a good day.

 

[Bowmap]

Have you been curious enough to give it a quick wipe with Naptha?

I see a little curl in that one piece.

 

[Bowmap]

but what`s a UC ?

I think it is Unit Commander for @Believer7713. In the hospital it is Unit Coordinator for my wife.

EDIT: Well I was way off. he he.

A UC is an Under Cover detective. Sorry, I sometimes forget that some people won't know some of our jargon.

Now you’ve got two planks to spank!

 

[YohanTheMan]

That's such a nice thing to do.
Sounds like a great guy your colleague

Yes sir!! They are heavy right now.

I haven't had time to do the wet look at it but yes, there is some coo quilting around that not on that one plank.

Cool, now I see a theme potential for that build... an undercover strat !... oh forget it, PRS already done that !

 

[Believer7713]

will this be your first build from lumber ?

This one will probably be my first build from lumber. If I have to let it dry some more then I will be cutting from some other wood I plan to get from a local supplier that works with only locally sourced trees and has a full mill and kiln. The guy that gave me these sourced it from his family farm and has had it for several years but hadn't cut it until about a year and a half ago. If anything, I will finish drying it in my second oven.
