Mica:  
 
   I'll be up that way for court next Tuesday, I believe.  I'll stop by and pick it up then.  By the way, how much to add LEDS to the side of the box?  (Just kidding)

The boxes are quite nice. The box I ordered from the last batch converged at my home on the same day as my Skylark. Two packages from Alembic!! Whoopee!!  
 
BTW - there seems to be an abundance of Toms in the club - almost as many as the Pauls and Bobs. =)

I'm thinking a Coco Bolo box would be a nice accessory to the bass I just ordered. One must coordinate when one accessorizes. ( he said as he threw back his flowing platinum hair)

Hi Mica
 
Can you please reserve one of the burl redwood for me, actually for my wife ?
 
I can give you a call next week with a CC number if that's OK.
 
Cheers

Hi,
 Mica posted These dimensions on the first Box thread
The boxes are about 5.5 x 3 and just shy of 2 high

Dibs on the buckeye burl box! If and when cash flow improves, this would be my choice for a top wood (with walnut running a close second). I'll call in Monday with a card #.

Mica and Valentino,
 
The box arrived today. It's just as you described.  It's beautiful!
 
Also, the chamois works great!  My Persuader's finish buffed right up into it's high gloss.  Can't wait to get it home and give the Skylark a good once over!
 
Thanks again,
Hollis

I just got my buckeye box today and it's gorgeous! (a continuing theme... the body is walnut)
Thanks to Val, Mica and all the crew.

The purpleheart box arrived today as well.  Val, thanks for getting it shipped so quickly.  Mica and the rest of the Alembic family, you folks are the best.  I'm sure my wife will love this Xmas gift when she gets it.

I picked up the double salamander on Wednesday.  My wife, who kind of rolled her eyes when I told her I had claimed it, changed her tune when she saw it.  Very impressive.
