Just announced: tonewood supplier Allied Lutherie has been purchased by my friend Adam Buchwald, proprietor of Circle Strings and Iris Guitars in Burlington, VT. Adam is moving Allied's warehouse and operations from Healdsburg, CA to Burlington. He already has added some exciting new products, including the Roller Pin Sander (why didn't I think of that!) and other Elevate branded tools. Allied previously has been guitar focused, but I imagine it wouldn't take much prodding for Adam to start offering ukulele sized woods and other products. Check them out at alliedlutherie.com
