Mail god were good to me this week

Well the mail man drove up to the door and started handing me a package that weighed a ton and I fist started yelling at the wife to see what he heck she ordered. Then I took a closer look at the return address and this is what it said

Very cool. :thumb: Koa is sweet wood. (I have a koa guitar.)

BTW, I did a little editing of your first photo to hide the addresses. I hope you don't mind. It's generally not a good idea to advertise home addresses on a public forum. ;)
 
Glad it got there OK Jay. I hope this wood works for finger boards. It made a great floor and I had some left over, so I band sawed the finish off and planed them down. I left 'em a little fat so you could take them down to final thickness. This wood reacts to sun light just like cherry and will darken over time.
