BRW is getting harder and harder to find, especially Master Grade pieces. These pieces were salvaged from an old farm house in Bahia Brazil that
was built circa 1930. These pieces are all I have left from shipments I have
received over the past several years. I do not know when, or if, there will
be anymore. So, if you ever thought of building that special cue out of the Holy Grail of cue wood you might want to jump these. My standard guarantees apply.

A question for you since these are 70 yrs old and stable would you still core it?

Mr Flynn is not alone in this conviction. There are some things you just don't do.
Since this has now hit the floor, allow me in return to ask what would your or anyone's
motivation be to consider coring the grandaddy of tone woods?
Not all woods are meant to be or need to be cored.
I don't see BRW being alone in this.

KJ

PS - My apologies as I realize this is a sales thread and with respect to Mr Flynn.
do not want to turn it into an open discussion. Thank you.

Noble woods

What's a "noble" wood?

Along with the two KJ listed I would include:
Brazilian Rosewood
Baronii
Camelia (Violetta) Rosewood
Tulip Wood

What makes a wood "noble"? According to my friend in Brazil "A noble wood
has a peculiar resin in it that when it drys (about 50 years after being cut into
slabs) turns into microscopic crystals".

What you hear in those old pre-war Martin Guitars is all those millions of crystals rubbing together. The older the wood the more crystals. BRW
is the top wood with, IMO, Camelia being a close second.
