Quilted Bubinga

[lmarti13]

A friend wants a pen turned to match his customer guitar. Does anyone know a good source for quilted bubinga?

Lynn,
Check Big Rob's inventory in the Business Classifieds, also Nolan and Exoticwoods. Everyone on here are great people to purchase from.

That is a very beautiful guitar.

I don't have any quilted bubinga, but I did recently pick up a super intense pommele figured bubinga board. If you're interested in some, pm me.

Lynn, Below is a link to the Figured Bubinga I offer on this site. Not exactly what you want but it is very good looking with character.

That is high end stuff and you are going to have to find a specialty shop that is a Luthier supplier like http://www.koaguitarwood.com but be prepared to spend a lot and maybe buy more then you need.

Is koa and bubinga the same wood?

Actually I do, but it won't be ready for another 2-3 months

We were discussing this particular wood on Saturday. We were wondering if the figure will hold up once it's turned to a pen.

Frank, short answer is no.

Thanks Cav. I was puzzled how the topic took a left turn from Bubinga to Koa.

 

[dfurlano]

Do you see the word "like"? Like this that sells freakin high end wood.
