Thanks anyway, Bill. I appreciate that you looked. The top is old, which may be why it is so fine. It seems that spruce with this grain count is available but expensive today.<br />
<br />
Thanks again.<br />

I appreciate that more than you know. If you have any bigger scraps, those would work great for the inlays of the top crack repairs. But, beggars can't be choosers. Anything you can offer will be greatly appreciated! Again, thank you so much!! Let me know if I owe you anything

Bill,<br />
I realize that you didn't make the offer to me but I could use a bit of fine grained spruce ( 45 grain per inch is what the top is) if you have any that I can purchase. I've worked out a plan to use the wood under the bridge as patch material for exposed areas but it requires me to also patch under the bridge where it doesn't need it now. I don't really need much, a piece that is 8 inches by 2 inches would do it.<br />

There used to be a mill in Prairie Grove called Nations or National or something like that. It was there for decades so there's a pretty good chance they're still in business. My father still has a stack of walnut that he got from them about 30 years ago. Unless they have changed in the last decade or so, everything is air dried.<br></br>

Another potential source for some wood is old furniture. I've been surprised how many old mahogany table I've seen listed in craigslist that have hard wood…

Another potential source for some wood is old furniture. I've been surprised how many old mahogany table I've seen listed in craigslist that have hard wood tops and rock bottom prices. I understand that in some areas, craigslist isn't all that large but in SoCal it's huge.<br />
