...starting to attack the website for the shop recently, and the first new thing is a weekly "tops to die for" page. 
The concept is that every Monday, I take shots of 10 just killer pieces and post them up on our website, here.
We'll leave that page up for about 4-6 weeks, marking anything that has been sold as such.
There will be some "repeats" as time rolls on, but I will try to keep several months worth of time between re-postings.
So, wha'cha think?

Gonna do something similar with fingerboards?

| No, because we just can't let folks pick SPECIFIC fingerboards for construction/structural reasons, sorry.

Does anyone remember the Sears Wishbook catalog that used to come out every year? I'd hijack ours, and drool over all the cool stuff until the Big Man hisself came to visit.
This is worse by several orders of magnitude. Or better.
And, yes, that redwood is something from another world, innit?
Nicely done, Gard.

well congrats on that gorgeous piece of Koa!! gonna be a great bass and can't wait to see the progression of it's completion.
(my only suggestion would be to have the pick-ups oriented like Jimmy Haslips)
