Pernambuco bow blanks

[duane88]

6 blanks suitable for violin, viola, or cello bows.

$75 each+shipping

 

I made one bow with my friend Robert Morrow, and that was enough to show me that I am a violin maker, not a bow maker...

Hi Duane, i see 9 blanks, what about those 3 in the back?

What would be the shipping costs for Holland, Europe?

[duane88]

Hello Emil,

 

I am not sure, but I think that shipping to Holland might be a problem. Please check into that and get back to me. CITES regulations and all. If I can ship them via US Postal Service, the shipping might be reasonable, but I would hate for them to be confiscated and destroyed.

 

The 3 in the back I am keeping for myself as they were gifts from a bowmaker friend.

[Emilg]

Ok thanks Duane, i'll look into that if it's allowed.. strange world we live in

[duane88]

These sticks aren't "old" but I have been in personal possession of them for 15 years, so they are at least that old, but I have no CITES documentation as to their origin.

Pernambuco

 

Brazil wood or Pernambuco is a rare exotic hardwood that is a burnt reddish-orange color. It is noteworthy that Brazil was named after this wood due to the fact that the vivid orange and burnt red colors of the wood closely resemble the soil of Brazil.Uses include but are not limited to orange dye, stringed instrument bows, and fine boxes. This is a very stiff wood that is the wood of choice for instrument bows.A glass like finish can be obtained for stunning articles! Caselpinia echinata. We are really fortunate that we can offer this unique historic wood!

We CANNOT ship this wood outside of the USA.

 

 

From the Cook Woods website in Oregon, USA, so it might not be possible.

[Emilg]

Yes, i came to the same conclusion looking around.. a real shame 

[duane88]

Sold.

 

Thank you.

Hello, I am a guitar maker and a friend asked me to make him a bow for his cello. Step one, finding Pernambuco with the grain cut exactly on the quarter. Are you pieces still for sale? I am in the Columbus OH area. Thank you .

Rich.

Pernambuco wood to be exact

If you can’t ship Pernambuco to Europe, where do the European Bowmakers get their wood?

Hi Kevin,

Are those bow pernambuco wood still available? How much if I buy 10 of them? Are you volin maker or bow only maker. Do you have making books or drawing and sell them? If you ship to Cuddebackville NY (12729 ny) cost?

Thanks for your time.

Hi Kevin, do  you still have pernambuco blanks for sell? Thanks

[Crawforde]

I would be interested in purchasing a Bass or Cello sized blank if any are available. 

[MeyerFittings]

I'll be going to the VSA Convention in Anaheim with 50 sticks to sell. All are pre-CITIES and will have docs. I don't know if the USFW will get them to me in time for the trip but they are coming and I have paid for them. Prices will depend on quality and or Lucci reading.
