Such a shame as they look absolutely stunning with the contrast between the nickel and whatever is on the door, especially the blue one!
Great info Karen
18490 woodvil is an exclusive / somewhat rare one - yay. It's also quite exquisite.
How bout the VV woodvils?
I think all woods are quite exclusive
This actually didn't get addressed. Anyone got info?
what a shame. i was just googling pizza delivery in Maine, credit card in hand...
thank you all for this great thread!
I just got through looking at all those reo photos. All I can say is, WOW! Wish I'd been here a long time ago. All this REO history deserves a documentary.
P.s: If you haven't seen them, just click on one of Robs photos and it'll take you to photobucket.

I was considering starting a preorder thread to gauge the communities interest in another run. You know how some companies do a new run of an old model. I would really like to get a copy of the first wood run. If we got a preorder list, then this might sway Rob to make some more. A preorder list is also fair. Thoughts?
Imagine a 1 for 1 copy of an original.

There is another wood run in the works...so no need to seek interest. It is already clear that the demand is there. The one variable that is throwing a wrench in things is time.
My Green anodized Grand is my first Reo I ever owned
Im curious how many were made if any one knows .Thanks ! Its my first and will never ever be sold just curious if this one is considered rare .
{shudders }
i was thinking about taking a trip to europe or asia this fall or winter, but the first time i read that a Woodvil run was in the works, i decided that frivolous purchases could wait a few months. hopefully, i'll be able to pick up one or...
Hay now, I got one of those
I think the original question was which Reos had limited production runs and were rarer than the other ones. If memory serves, that is a preproduction Reo from March of 2010 made in a special wood combination, and only two were ever made. Robert has one.
Geez, I wonder who has the other one.....

Ok found a bit of history for every one. I know this is a bit of topic for this thread but here goes.
This was the vid I remember watching after I got my first wood REO. 808 was all the rage back then. One neat thing about the original Wood REO was that it had a adjustable center post and could use any atty out there, Rob was way ahead of the mod curve.
Now as you watch this vid notice at mark (1.48) you will see the Mine REO still in its infancy a lot changed before he went in to production with the REO Mini.

LOL
Clyde, I also have one that I think predates that one. No magnet in the door. worked on friction. and the 808 connection did not have the adjustable center post. I need to take a few photos of it and and talk to Rob to find out just when this one was built. (Photos will be posted latter)

Of course I love that tuneWay to go Rob, you got "Going to California" playing in the background!
Sorry I didn't have the buttons on when I took the picture in haste, months ago. One on left is, I am told, one of only 15, very early production run, with numbers stamped on catchcup. The two in middle are Purpleheart. One on right, third from left, was my first REO. It was main "swimmer" and in a lot of searing Texas sunlight for many months. Both of the Purplehearts have chips on their shoulders. They came that way. Does Feisty care?? Heck no.
Hi bones1274
Special orders aren't being taken at this time, he won't be able to get to them in a timely manner...and not sure when that will change. There is another Woodvil run planned, but I don't know if there will be any stabilized mods as of yet.
