Glad you're all loving the little boxes - they really are quite nice.  
 
Court, I've got your Saturn set aside - it does look even nicer than the photos, you can feel some of the open Walnut grain, but I just realized that the lighting really exaggerates it.
 
Whats left:  
2 Vermilion
1 Flame Maple with Walnut base from last set (not the one above)
Wenge
Tulipwood
Fruitwood with Heart
Fruitwood with Salamander

put me down for the 1 vermillion please  mica
got a cool idea- can we use some of the cut pieces aka drops from my coco to make some boxes? would take 6

I had the same idea, thought it would be cool offer a box made from the reminants of the top wood as an 'optional accessory'. So the box would match the instrument.
Hold the LEDs tho.

Mica..is the above 'whats left' list, minus 1 Vermillion, still accurate ?

Oh yeah, and Kris slipped in yesterday and brought me 5 Buckeye Burl boxes too.  
 
He said he's considering making custom boxes from top scraps of instruments in production, but he's not ready to provide that service yet.

Oooops MIca ....and I thought it was always made of scraps of instruments in production.
Although ...it could be a nice option when buying an instrument: Include box made of scraps of your bass XXX$
Cool!!
 
Paul the bad one

mica

Well, they are made of scraps from the instruments, just not specific ones. I've gotten a bunch of requests to take the scrap from a person's instrument and have a box top made from it. Right now, I can't offer that, but maybe I will convice Kris to do it someday.
 
BTW - nice to speak with you today Paul!

I put your boxes aside earlier today, Gary.
By the way, I believe the zebrawood box is also still left along with the tulipwood and 4 buckeyes.
 
Coco bolo top  boxes are harder for Kris to make & we don't know what we are going to charge for them yet.  
 
Anyone who has boxes on order and is wondering how to arrange payment can call us at Alembic or e-mail me or Mica with details.
