: : :I have Sitka Spruce Tonewood for sale. This wood is from very large blow downs that are 4-8ft on the butt cut. I cut nothing under 3ft on the butt cut. I ship this wood in 1/2 cord shipments for $725 and the buyer pays barge shipping to Seattle and then must make arrangements for final shipping to its destination. The cost to Seattle is approximately $70. I can ship you 1 bolt to a half cord at a time. My grades are A, AA, AAA and Master grade. I can send you a shipment of any or all of these grades. A Master grade shipment will have some 3A and 2A wood in it but not alot. I sell wood from 16" to 51". I sell this wood all over the world and have been cutting wood products on the West Coast for over 45 years. I will send you an excellent product. The color of this wood in this part of Alaska is a pure white color with a shiney tint to it. I send no knots and the growth lines do not wonder more than 1/2" from the top of the bolt to the bottom of a standard 26" bolt. I look forward to doing business with you

tonewood tops and billets

It has come to my attention that there is over 400 places on the inter-net that has our old name of Alaskatonewood on it and articles about our old business that has been shut down now for over two years. We are currently thinking of opening up the sight again for world wide business and now that my heart condistion is much better from the lay off of bad habits. My heart was only producing 27% of its potential blood flow and now is producing over 55%. Time to go back to work. We have never been to any court of law for our business practicing and have satisfied all buyers excepting those that have broken American shipping laws.

We are willing to give buyers the benefit of the doubt and will supply returns of tonewood products one time with new products at 50% off to help with shipping costs. The buyer can keep the old products. "One time" and I will this time inspect each and every product shipped going out the shipping door.

Providing tonewood again to the world is on our calendars again. Key board want a be luthiers will not alter our business to provide quality tonewood to the world markets. We have shipped 1000's of billets and tops to markets world wide with only 1% disapproving of our quality grades that was sent to buyers because of having to hire sub-quality help due to my fibrillating heart condition which was inherited from my Dads side of the family.

Your feed back is welcomed for everybody to see and we will be offering tonewood products again very soon. Thank you. John of alaskatonewood.

sitka spruce tone wood

i have read all of the previous back and forth messages and i an very willing to give the benefit of the doubt. my only problem is that i just recently got totally ripped off by an outfit called INLAYUSA.com. can you give me a quote for 1/4 of AAA spruce? a picture or two wouldn't hurt, and by the way, nothing gets left behind my post office, we have the best delivery in the usa in buffalo, ny!
PS I need boards 11" wide and more than 20" long, I have a Laguna 3000 SUV so resawing is not an issue. Thanks, Paul

I have finally figured out how to starve these 0ne guitar guys a year to death. The guys that continualy get on this inter-net and talk B.S. about tonewood which they know nothing about as they do about building guitars also. You hide their food stamps under their work boots.

Re: Sitka Spruce tonewood

Hi There,

I was wondering what the costs for the Spruce tops would be to send to Australia. Lets say 50 sets of 3A and also do you supply bracing please and in what amounts?

Regards,

Matt Fernyhough

We took over Alaskatonewood after John found nearly a 1000 sights that were using his name for their own advertistment plug in's. After all: He was number one in sales in all the world for hand split billets. Plus he got old and cranky and fed up at 65 with all the bickering from guys that make one guitar in their lives and have a key board in front of them and they become instant kings and experts in tonewood. Everybody knows that is B.S.

We have excellent stocks in AA-AAA Sitka Spruce in medium to loud figeration in Bear Claw for $17.50 a book match top. If you buy in orders of 20 and 30 sets. Great buy for a Bear Claw lover. Plus we sale a lot of blanks in Sitka Spruce that is pure 100% tonewood without ANY defects. These come in 2-3/8" thick X 9-10" wide X 24" long to 3-3/8" X 9-10" wide X 24" long . All in Sitka Spruce and Alaska Yellow Cedar plus Western Red Cedar. These sell for $75 to $175 depending on the grade and line count which is alway mostly master grade but some superior and some AAA. The buyer pays the shipping on all this and as usual we are full up with hand split billets and can deliver them any where in the world. You name the grade to AAA and above.

Give our new sight a look and stop reading about two guys out of a 100 buyers who bitch. You will fined people who bitch about being in heaven. We have large stocks of just about anything a luthier need to build with. Thank. Robert of www.celticmusicwood@gci.net

Re: Sitka Spruce tonewood

I just received a billet of Sitka Spruce Tonewood from John McCray and received over 20 ov them in the past. I have had an excellent experience with both the product and the service. I would recommend John of alaskatonwood to anyone. This is an excellent deal.

Re: Sitka Spruce tonewood

Re: Sitka Spruce tonewood

Oops, didn't mean to say that I have tonewood. My question is this. What are the crieria you use to grade your wood: IE Master, AAA, AA, Etc?

Re: Sitka Spruce tonewood

Nick Lloyd Bass has a major virus on his computer and people and buyers should beware. I have to take my computer in to get it fixed inorder to restore what information that is private that he stole be put back on. This guy had his wood shipped to a mill and now the mill is saying they never seen it and Lloyd owned them money and it seems Mr. Lloyd has considerable difficulty with everybody. I am reporting this to the local FBI that has there office 10 blocks from my house. This is felony thief. John of www.alaskatonewood.com

Keith.

I am sure you are a very nice guy and honesty is your highest personal standard. Starting to bicker over one bolt is pretty petty stuff. For every dissatisfied buyer of mine I have 25 that are happy. My quality of wood speaks for itself. Your wood is probably in some warehouse with all the rest of the PO stuff that gets lost. I have had a million tricks pulled on me to get free wood. I know I sent you the wood. What now? Send me the shipping money and I will send you ANOTHER bolt. Its not my fault and its not your fault. Getting into a word game is not going to do it here. If you would send a $100. I will send three bolts and one will be the one you missed somehow. Plus one will be free. Look at my sight. Do I look like a Liar and a robber. I will take a lost to make you happy as I try to do with all my buyers. John and thank you.

Sandra Rusin McCray and John McCray

Sandra,
Not yet I am out of town for a few days.
Thanks for asking.
Keith

Does this look like I have not tried to work with this man. These are the completed e-mails between the two of us and not a one-sided version. This has never happened to me and I send this wood all over the world. I have tried to work this out and Keith only has turned to the internet to slander me and project a onesided view of what is happening. I have hundreds of satisfied buyers all over the world.

Re: Sitka Spruce tonewood

I placed an order with J&S AKA alaskatonewood.com on april 24th paid the same day using Paypal. July 19th still no wood.After much of my time and many e-mails I have been told I can not get my money back and the "lost" wood will not be replaced. While I am sure their wood is fine I don't think most of us would consider this a proper way to do business. I found that Paypal will not help me because I didn't file a complaint within 45 days. Paypal said that if I would have filed within 45 days they would have gone after J&S and that this transaction is outside what they consider acceptable. Oh well buyer beware.

Re: Sitka Spruce tonewood

The bolt of wood ordered from Alaskatonewoods finally arrived today 14 weeks after the order date. It turns out it was behind a machine in the local post office for who knows how long. The post office is sending a letter of appology to Alaskatonewoods
