Welcome to the Forum Geoff.

I moved this thread to the main forum, where it's more likely to get some response, and we'd like to keep the Tone Wood section directly related to info on each species.

Can't help with your question, but others are sure to have some info for you.

Hi Branchy , Good to see you get on board.I think the easiest place to start is with these guys http://www.ancientkauri.co.nz/
They appear to be the ones who sarted the craze and have all the big gear.This guy is cutting guitar sides at the moment.

Cheers from Micheal.
