Lizard_King Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Has anyone here ever seen walnut that looks like Madacasgar Rosewood? My soon to be father in law knows that I build guitars and came home this evening with a chunk of wood 2 inches thick, 14 inches wide, and 6 feet long that he says is walnut. Well it looks like rosewood, same grain pattern and color. It's some of the best looking walnut I have ever seen. He told me he got it from on of his friends that builds tables, and cabinets and stuff like that. Guess it's an early christmas present. Which I'm thankful for, but I'm thinking this must have cost him a ton. I'll get some pictures up as soon as possible. I just can't believe the looks of this wood though. Never seen walnut like it before. Has anyone here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I've seen some that looks a lot like Macassar Ebony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asm Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 espeically if its Claro, or English walnut. they usually have alot more figure than the regular Black walnut. http://www.ca-walnutdesigns.com/products/images/cwd%204d.jpg that image is really overly contrasted in photoshop, but check out that grain. nice stuff.
