Being new to ukulele building I have been trying to source wood considered suitable. (but at a decent price)
I was very happy to find ‘MADERAS BARBER’ a Spanish tone-wood supplier. I excitedly filled my basket and purchased lots of wood as it is fantastically cheep, and i had to cover postage costs.
I now wait expectantly, hoping that it is as good as I need, (I’m not ready for top grade stuff yet!) although I have now read that it could be ‘green wood’ requiring drying prior to use...
Does that mean that it will be of no use to me for a while? have I wasted my time and money? I have nowhere to store it for the next 5 yrs!!!
