50+ year old pine

my friend has some reclaimed pine boards that would be nice for guitar bodies i think. how can i hook up with some potential builders. boards are 2 1/2" x 8" x 12'.

Ron Kirn does a lot in pine.. he could tell you if that board is suitable.. (looks a little knotty to me.. but what do I know?)

You might want to get them planed down to somewhat smooth before getting someone to guestulate whether they'd be good for a body(ies); Ron Kirn has made bodies/guitars from customer's own wood, to my limited knowledge....

Get a jig saw and a dremel. Leave it rough. Call it a Barncaster.

What's funny is that, from the first moment I devised the project, I called it the barncaster.

Check out Marc Rutters, his workmanship is outstanding. He might do it.

Hecube stop teasing, just stop it.
