ShatnersBassoon Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Here’s some ‘Norway maple’ that I bought recently. The contrasting colours are slightly reminiscent of black limba don’t you think? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizman62 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Is that tiger stripes or saw marks in the sapwood? Very nice anyhow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said flamed in the advert so I am assuming tiger stripes, fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizman62 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 The parquet factory outlet was permanently closed just when I was passing by on a working day. We even made an extra 50 km round for it... Had it still been open I might have bought an armful of more or less exotic hardwood blanks. Wood is now failing on me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShatnersBassoon Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I’m going to a local(ish) exotic hardwood place soon, always nice to buy in flesh as it were! Will make sure to ring first for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShatnersBassoon Posted August 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Ok...here’s a question. What do you think? The top of the guitar as the predominantly brown end? Or include some of the flamed section on the top? Decisions decisions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even, split it and make two bookmatched tops! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
