G'day to you all, great site. I'm a new guitar maker and i want to export a small amount of wood to the u.k but i'm not sure about the paper work, tax etc. I was hoping someone on this forum might be able to help. Also, is there a good wood supplier in Bangkok?

tecknocracy,got a question.do you sell your guitars and if you do for how much
You have a PM!
Cheers for the compliements people . . . ain't looked on this thread for while been busy busy . . here's a quick pic of a in progress build.
With it first coat of oil . .
Mai daeng (Burmese Ironwood) wings with accents stripes of Mai Khampii (Laos Rosewood) and Mai Tha kha (Afzelia Xylee). The neck is Afzelia with a Laos Rosewood fretboard . .. . of which I don't have any current pics.
Here's a couple of further appetizers:
Figure Afzelia Xylee (mai tha kha laai) currently being turned into an 8 string guitar which currently looks like this:
That fret board is some more lovely b&w ebony:
The neck is figured Siam rosewood:
Check out the wild figuring on the back of the neck:
The 8 string parts have just been prepared I am waiting on a few deliveries of parts to continue with it.
Oh yes forgot add Afzelia Xylee is far stronger than teak and denser - however teak has the high oil content so it'll always be far superior to basically any other timbers for use where the timber has water exposure. Personally I aren't a really fan of the teak furniture but that just a personal thing - I think the grain and colour are a little plain.

G'Day. I'm a new guitar maker from the u.k and i want to export a small amount of wood from thailand to the u.k but i'm not sure about the paperwork, tax etc for the thai gov.For instance i'm in Ranong and if i buy wood here what paperwork would i need from the merchant. Also, is there a good wood supplier in Bangkok. I mainly make acoustic guitars so mostly i would be after wood for back and sides, neck and fretboard. Hope someone can help. Cheers. Happy Chinese New Year.
