Took a trip to the Hardwood Supply store in Denver and found some nice African Mahogany (for the body), and some Walnut which will be used as a "drop-top." I like this store because they allow you to cut boards to length instead of having to buy the entire board. I 4-squared (join, plane) the mahogany board and glued it up. The walnut board is going to be a challenge to work with. I find you lose up to 30%-40% of of a board when you want to re-saw, join and plane it, so hopefully all will go well and I will have enough to work with.
Like I said this is a Dream Come True!
