I purchased a 1942 Guide GS in good shape, however time will tell after I remove the varnish and two coats of paint to see what else may need attention. So far after my first inspection, one of the inwales is cracked in 5 places; someone was heavy-handed with the screwdriver. I've already been told to just replace the one and stain to match.
I live 108 miles northeast of downtown Seattle just outside the North Cascades in the way out of way town of Marblemount. I travel frequently to Seattle and visit Anacortes and Bellingham to escape the isolation.
If there is a reliable marine lumber yard in the area that can supply a 2x4x20' piece of spruce for my repairs, I'd appreciate a name, location, phone number or website if you have them; I'll take what I can get and traveling is no problem. The first place I was told to check out now manufactures musical instruments; missed it by that much.
Appreciate any help,
