SoundAt11 Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Here's Blake's top: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/soundat11/de...dnm=44bbre2.jpg http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/soundat11/de...dnm=ff8dre2.jpg http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/soundat11/de...dnm=b2eare2.jpg http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/soundat11/de...dnm=9fe9re2.jpg There's a little bit of background curl figuring that the camera doesn't really pick up, but should be nice and subtle once you put a clear finish on it. The bookmatch looks a little off. Is one of the sides wrong face up? Maybe it is just the picture. Walnut is such a nice looking wood. Peace,Rich I caught that to, I was just in a hurry to take the pics and flipped one the wrong way for the pic. But that yellow streak does actually show up on one, but not the other, it just kinda ended as I got into the thickness of the wood. It's not glued together, though, so he's free to go with his favorite sides. I just wish the reflective curls in the wood would show up on camera, they're in there. This is from my new planer, it's a Ridgid LS1300, 13" wide. I like it so far, no bad reviews from the online folks and it works great. It's a little finicky with Purpleheart, but it slices right through Walnut, Mahogany, and Limba. I'm running wood through this thing like crazy, I feel like a kid again:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javacody Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 That is some nice looking walnut and that is really cool of you to surface it and everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundAt11 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I've still got a good bit left if anyone needs anything. I've got one taker on a neck-thru blank and a matching top and back set, that should be cool. I'm going to end up with srap pices off these boards to, so if you need odd sized blocks or strips, just let me know. White Limba arrives tommorrow.

SoundAt11 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 I've still got one board left and some strips and blocks left over from the other board. It's 2 1/4" thick and I can plane it, so if you want neck or body laminates, I'd be happy to cut and plane some for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
