The Wood Is HERE!

The Box With everything in it, Very small for 250$ of wood. When the
FedEx man brought it to the door i thought he had left something
out, but no, its all packaged very well. Fits in its box right under my desk.
So today is my sisters Birthday and as she opens her new ele. piano and film camera the doorbell rings, the dog barks, and a box littered with LMI Tape and no dents to be found is placed on my doorstep. it took LMI about 5 days to deliver with ASAP shipping.
      Now would be a good time to list all the Materials i bought and unless Lmi has not sent something, i have a folded up guitar in a box right now.
Fret Board and PRE CURVED FRETS, Next to the FREE How too DVD.

I bought everything from strings to rosette, here is the rosette, a very simple
walnut creation, pretty. the ebony headplate and ebony bridge
strings and ivory, next to a wrench for the truss rod. they think of
everything! love it. 
 Sorry for the bad Pic quality, im into HiFi Sound not pictures, Sis it though. 

So the complete Parts list for me was (forgive me if i miss anything important.):

Ebony Fretboard
Walnut Back and sides 
Alaskan Yellow Cedar Top 
3 logs of Bracewood  (Spruce)
4 lines of Kerfed edging (Mahogany) 
Back Brace strip (spruce) 
Heel Block(Mahogany)
Neck Block(Mahogany)
Truss Rod
FretWire 
Tuners
Headplate (ebony) 
Bridge Plate
DVD.

all the finishes i will buy later (about 100$ for a simple finish) 
 Total for Everything including an extra sitka spruce top for a Ukulele Project was about $300.
The sitka spruce top was about 10 bucks and it looks damn good at that, pretty wide grain though.
