Hi Tim

No I don't, but I can take one if you really are into backsides

Where in Tejas are you? I had a girlfriend from Houston and visited many times...

Cheers

LOL! As tempting as it would be to respond to that, I'll force myself to refrain...LOL! : ) I would like to see it if possible.

Had a girlfriend huh? Hmmm, hope it didn't end over a "backside" issue! LOL!

No, it was the distance that did for us (this way is the days before everyone had the internet). We are still good friends though.

Well I'm glad to hear you are still friends. Friends are hard to come by and worth holding on too! Just like Smith Basses!

Better get back to the topic of this thread.

Take care!

Well, show out, Mr. Bishop! I agree with Al: You ARE the man!

When I grow up (and if the Lord hasn't returned by then), I hope to have a collection half as expansive and beautiful as yours.

I am impressed, and inspired!

Tim,

Very nice collection you have here! When you say 'Birdseye Redwood' do you mean Bubinga? Do you know if there's any kind of Exhibition grade Bubinga?

Best regards
