As everyone knows if you mention terms like Marine and Luthiery prices of just about everything from timber to tools escalates to a point of lunacy, but certainly glad im not into Rifles and Guns yet. Check out exhibition grade :shock:

Yikes. Thank goodness for gun control laws.....

OTH, some of the guitar stuff looks pretty reasonable, after a quick scan....
I wish I was half the man my dog thinks I am....

Time to start making gun / rifle butts out of sheoak jarrah etc and ship them to the usa.

Good profit margin by the looks of it.
