Hi Guys and Gals,
I am having a massive clear out of my factory (more on that later) and have a stash of Rio rosewood that I am happy to give away to anyone who can come to Letchworth to pick it up. The majority of pieces are fairly small 300mm x 60mm x 11mm but are perfect for acoustic bridges and inlay work. There are bigger sections but these tend to have some defects which make then less usable for guitar making but could still be incorporated into some beautiful furniture or presentation/jewellery boxes or possibly small uke fretboards. Please remember that this species is CITES listed and so you cannot (legally) sell anything made using it.
There is also a selection of other species and loads of thin 1.5mm birch ply that could be used for templates etc It's all got to go!
The pallet shown is sat outside my Letchworth premises at 6 Flint Road, SG61HJ so it is available to collect 24/7. Feel free to email me on darren.king@bagpress.com or text/call me on 07802 252252 if you are coming down and I will try to make sure I am here to say hello.
Have fun
Darren
What a very generous offer Darren. Unfortunately you're a wee bit too far away. I'm sure some lucky person will be along very soon.
I hope the clear out is for a good reason. 🤞

Hi, I also meant to ask you all to repost the details to any other guitar/instrument making/woodworking groups you may belong to. If the wood doesn’t find a new home then it will either be burnt or end up in landfill, either of which will haunt me until the day I die!!
Cheers
Darren

That’s a very generous offer Darren, you’re just a bit far away from NE Scotland🤣🤣👍
Have you looked to see if there is a Men’s Shed close to you, they would probably bite your hand off if offered some of that stash.👍😃🎸
What I want to know is how many points the member at position 11 has!
In fear of my top 10 membership!

Don't know about the leaderboard thingemything, but if you can wait till May-time I am happy to pick up the lot (if not gone before then)
