How much are you expecting to pay per body?
I once travelled with a friend to collect a gurt lump of mahogany. The seller had planned to divide it lengthways to make matching gate posts. The lump was a two-man lift. We had to wedge it diagonally into my friend's Leyland Sherpa van, between the offside wheel arch and the A pillar in the cab area.
The task would have been better handled by a dropside truck with a hydraulic lifting arm and a few strops. The average home guitar building enthusiast lacks transport on this scale.
It has been stored in an open sided barn. The wood is splitting in places, but there's a lot of it and it's long so there are plenty of good bits to go at to make bodies. How would you recommend storing it now?
The remaining nails are well buried.
