Customer James Hagland picks up some wood for his next project

James dropped by the shop last week to pick up this big chunk of wood for his next carving.

20" x 20" x 20" solid block of Mexican Parota with no center pith!

What would you do with a piece of wood this size?

James said it may be a while, but he promises to send us some images of his project once it is complete.

(The real fun part was trying to fit this piece of wood in the trunk of his car!)

We still have a handful of this large blocks of Parota here at the shop if any of you are interested. Click here to see what's available.

They make great bedside tables or bases-see image below (This one has been stained to match existing black walnut furniture)

Down to the last 2 "Free Shipping" sales on our Parota Slabs

Our "Free Shipping" March special on our large Parota Slabs has been a big hit this month.

Many of you have picked 1 or 2 slabs (or in some cases even more) and have saved hundreds of dollars by having us ship it to you free of charge to your nearest freight dock.

This offer was for the first 10 Parota orders through the month of March (no limit on how many slabs per order) and we are now down to the last 2.

We just wanted to notify all of you who are still thinking about taking advantage of this month's special (we are still receiving several emails everyday about the special, so we know many of you are still interested)

To see images of our available Parota Slabs, click here.

If it is easier, feel free to call us directly (760.434.3030) and we can help you find a slab that will work for you and can confirm your free shipping.

Two more Parota Slabs on their way to new homes in Texas and Florida!

Here we have a couple more customers taking advantage of our "Free Shipping Special" on tabletop Parota Slabs through the month of March!

(In case you are wondering-the Parota Slab in the last pictures measures 3.5" thick x 45" wide x 181" long! That was a fun one to package up, talk about a big chunk of wood!)

Cocobolo boxes by Customer Judd Lotts

Customer Judd Lotts from Prescott, Arizona recently sent us these fantastic images of two Cocobolo boxes he just completed.

Judd has been purchasing wood from us for years and always takes advantage of our large selection of "extra-wide" Mexican cocobolo lumber to get the look he wants in his projects.

If we remember correctly, Judd used a few pieces of Cocobolo lumber roughly 9-11" wide and as a result was able to grain match all the drawer fronts with the one piece tops.

We think these boxes turned out great, what do you guys think?

Fabulous work Judd, thanks for the pictures!




Below is an image of some of the "extra-wide" Cocobolo we have in stock. Feel free to drop by the shop and pick out a piece (or pieces) that works for you. (Also a favorite among our guitar luthiers...)

Can't make it to the shop?
