Howdy ho! Finally got the Featured Custom up, so here's the next group of boxes as Valentino promised:  

    Key to names in next post - Osage Orange and Wenge are sold.

I won't have a chance to put any of these in the online store until October 17, so until then, it's Members Only.    (Message edited by mica on October 07, 2004)

Ooops! left the name key out of the last post, here it is:
 

Probably want to know prices, huh?  
 
$40 B-29 box  
$75 B-29 with heart or single salamander inlay
$110 B-29 with double salamander or Saturn inlay
 
Next group should be available in about a month, and it will include many Coco Colo, some with inlays.

Mica:  
 
  In honor of our pair of pet Australian Water Dragons (Norbert & Puff), dibs on the double salamander quilt maple and amboyna (whatever that is).    
 
Thanks,  
 
Bill, the guitar & lizard one
 
EXTRA CREDIT:  The origin of the namePuff for a pet dragon is pretty obvious, but does anyone know why our boy dragon is named Norbert?  Hint: you have a better chance of getting this one if you have kids.

these look awesome!!!!
Can I reserve the Burl Walnut, and email you my credit info?
 - Tom

Dibs on THE purpleheart/dark walnut (In other words, I want the darker or first pick of the two - I'm really picky tonight!).

Bill: got yours set aside. Do you want to pick it up next time you're here or would you like me to ship it?
 
Tom (echo): yours is set aside also. Probably better to email your phone number and we'll call you for credit card details.
 
Tom (nigel): The one on the upper right is slightly darker. The one on the upper left has a little bit of flame in the Purpleheart. Just tell me which one you prefer. Shall I bill your account and use the same shipping address?

Thanks Mica,
Ill email you with the number....
 
 - Tom

Hey Mica, I e-mailed you and left it to your judgement and taste.  You have them there, so just box me up which you think I will like best, and I will.  Send it when you have time.  Another box feeding frenzy!

Just a heads up, Mica....
I  wanted to make sure I emailed to the correct address -  sales at alembicguitars.net, is this correct?
hopefully this is because I just sent  an email.

Mica -  
 
If it's not too late, I'll trade you THIS flame maple box for the one I reserved in the last batch.  I like the (what appears to be) mahogany a little better than the walnut on the box I reserved last month.
 
Since the original box hasn't been sent to me yet, can I do this?  Or am I, as always, causing trouble?   (I'm perfectly OK with my original box if swapping creates an issue).

Mmmmmmm...I see the birth of a box-department coming up at Alembic. Makes sense ...every apprentice at the Alembic factory will start at the Box-department and graduates to the guitar department (to master in the bass department ...hehehehehe ...just kidding)  
 
Paul the bad one
 
BTW: I can imagine some new opportunities to work on as walking sticks or poolsticks. There have been a tradition in old days to make those in fancy (tropical) hardwoods too! Or fancy boxes one can use to put writing tools in to put on a desk (fountain pens like Montblanc, Montegrappa, Dupont, Omas just ASK to be put in such boxes)
