A Canadian and a Swede I believe. Two very cool, friendly and helpful guys. And yea they are a little pricey, but i gotta start somewhere. baby steps before i sprint, lol !!!those guys will also carve your maple for a little over $200. of course you have to ship it to Canada...

Members MichaelSaulnier Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I know from your other build threads... you'll probably make something eye popping and jaw dropping... Remembering your "water drop" V... I know an LP with that kind of finish was be especially cool, but maybe you don't want to duplicate yourself. Good luck with whatever you do!
