If any of you guitar builder types have anything lying around then let me know a price please!

I may have some blocks that are useless for anything else.  Fairly sure I have some sapelli that would be right.  What dimensions does it need to be?

@WezV ; ideally they would be at least 130mm in all dimensions but not necessarily square. 

The above sounds like a crossword clue but hopefully you get what I mean. 

I'm in Tamworth too so collection wouldn't be an issue.

not sure i have anything that square, but here are some bits i have 


left to right:

• straight grained Sapelli 134x65x230 rough sawn.  Will have a nice bit of ribboning when smoothed
• end grain off cut of sapelli 86x65x340.   not suitable for anything structural, but will make a nice feature piece
• lightly figured bubinga 135x50x340.     a really nice bit of wood I was saving for something, just never sure what.  Its quite a difficult wood to work but worth the effort
