Hey there, I'm a photographer... and seemingly one of only a handful of band photographers in NZ. I used to be a staffer for Metal Hammer back in UK and shot for a bunch of metal publications (decibel, terrorizer, kerrang,etc).

It began life as a big sapele plank, maybe 1.2m x 70mm x 50mm or thereabouts. This plank was brought in by one of the guys there along with a bunch of other sapele. Th...

Looks like refretting these would be a massive pain in the ass.

If you're still looking go to Pride Mahogany Fiji somewhere in Manukau. They're a family business who run a plantation back in Fiji and ship it to NZ for sale. It's swietenia macrophylia, so the 'real stuff' and last time I was there it was around $35 per l/m of 300x50mm. I picked up a metre of that...
