• When a knot is not a not!

• Steve,
  
  Well, I really appreciate this. I know you don't have X-Ray vision and could not have known this would have happened. Dave told me you were one of the best and this absolutely proves his point. I really do appreciate it and look forward to doing much more business with you in the near future.

• Over the Moon!

• Hi Steve,

  Received my two koa sets today. I'm over the moon with them, just perfect for my requirements. I was suprised to see the quality of the headstock material as well. Its so gratifying that when someone gives a promise that the item will please, the promise is fulfilled.

  Thanks a lot for an excellent service.

  Kind Regards

• Aloha Steve,

  You might remember me: I am the German guy to whom you sent a koa and a mango set to Hawai`i in May. The Mango ukulele is finished now. I had it made by a master guitar maker here in Germany and it sounds brilliant. It is in Deutsch but the pics speak for themselves. No question it looks awesome as well. Beautiful wood. I will send pics as soon as I am back in Germany.

Just came back from our little Post Office out here and opened up your nicely packed parcle ,and I'm just floored., what a beautiful set of Koa, your pics at your website just don't do it justice.Very happy here and when I'm done working with this set I'll be looking for a Weiss set from you.

  “You should check out Steve Schaefer's Hawaiian Hardwoods Direct site at http://www.curlykoa.com. Even though he has relocated to a small Oregon town of 600 people there is still a stockpile of wood. If you join his site and then log in you will see some special prices on his offerings. One nice thing is that he offers a variety of grades and some nice high res photos of the wood. I picked up a set of koa and a set of mango from Steve's shop last year and both have a great tap tone.“
