Need a supplier for Boire rosewood.

Thinking some of the older dolphins had barts.. I got close on tone. I suppose I need to have my own voice as someone eloquently pointed out in an unrelated thread.

Anywho...here is the evidence of my first attempt at luthiery and while I will be the first to say that there are quite a number of details that could have been better if I had more experience strokin the wood...

Holy crap , it plays better than most of the stuff in guitar center(imo) and it is custom made for little ole me. :)
