Today I spent a couple of hours talking with a pretty awesome home builder. This man happens to be in the process of building a home for a friend of mine and my wife and I have been watching his work very closely.
Anyway, we had discussed guitars very briefly early in the conversation, and eventually got around to talking about flooring. I very jokingly said to him, "So, I guess if I wanted you to, you could do me a floor in Brazilian rosewood?" He replied, "Funny you should ask that, I'm doing Chip's floor(my friend who's home he's building) in South American rosewood." I asked if it was Brazilian, and he said heck, I don't know if it comes from Brazil, Peru or Venezuala, but it's South American rosewood.
Thinking of building a guitar out of my floor. All kidding aside, I'll let you know what Chip's floor looks like. BTW, I asked if it was expensive, and believe it or not, he said $5 a square foot. That's pretty middle of the road incase you haven't done flooring lately.
