Buffard Fr
ères
.
The firm was a victim of the Great Depression and went out of business in the 1930's.
Any commercially available Frères bandings were last
seen when Lee Valley made their wareroom find of
materials in 1989. Alas, no more to be had from them, they sold their last long ago.
But, now available to you one of the few remaining examples.
The source for the laid-up block (log) was acquired from France in 1980 through Hoppe Imports.

Approx. 42" of usable length
1/25"+ thickness
Tulipwood, walnut, ebony, padauk, mahogany, sycamore
