Re: Is NZ producing any blanks?
I'm suggesting you might have a difficult time finding the exact width and length as it's not a common shape for timber dealers to sell, so you might have to buy a bigger wider plank and rip it down.

Seems like a massive job to be honest. It's not quite the same but you can get 1m of 300x50mm mahogany for $50, which is enough for 2 bodies.

I bought some from him a while ago too, very hard trying to get him to reply to requests, need somebody to go in and ask him in person
