OS Site updates!

Wow...it's been a while since my last blog visit. We've been busy finishing up our summer batch of spruce and maple logs, so my computer time has been limited. Anyway, I did want to update the blog and let everyone know that we've done some recent updates to the Old Standard website, www.adirondackspruce.com. Be sure and check out our "Bargains and Specialty Items" page; we've pictured and listed a ton of new items including guitar top specials, unique Honduran Rosewood sets, and some great Birdseye Maple sets. We've also listed our newest Collings Guitar on our "Instruments For Sale" page, so be sure and check that out as well. It's got an absolutely pristine Adirondack top on it, and the great tone to back it up. Finally, due to many recent requests for flat mandolin wood, we've photographed some really nice complete flat mando sets on our "Mandolin Wood" page. Enjoy the site; more news soon!

Old Standard featured in Bluegrass Unlimited!

Please head out to your local newsstands and check out the article on Old Standard Wood featured in the latest issue of Bluegrass Unlimited. (www.bluegrassmusic.com) Freelance writer, photographer, and musician Bill Graham headed out to our neck of the woods a couple months ago, and after an extensive tour and interview wrote up the story. Thanks to Bill and the folks at Bluegrass Unlimited; we're very excited about the issue!

New OS Crew Pics!

About a month ago John brought in a really exceptional load of Adirondack logs, so we got everyone together for a new group picture. Here's some of the highlights from the photo session.

Fiddle me this, Fiddle me that...

Not surprisingly, various instruments find their way through the doors here at Old Standard from time to time. I happened to have my camera with me the other day while walking through the shop, so I snapped some quick pictures of an old fiddle that was lying around. Being such a visually interesting instrument, I thought the images turned out pretty nice.
