lovekraft Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 OK, here's one for you custom builders with the big checkbooks - Spalted Maple Burl, 20x20x3 Big enough to make a solid burl body or resaw into several unique (and expensive) tops.

Brian Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 That could make a freaky lookin top for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 that's an awesome piece of wood... Now we're talking about tops..... I have no clue what tools are needed to bookmatch a piece of wood. Anyone experience with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 tsl60200 you mean to make veneers of 1/4"-1" tops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 i don't think you would want to bookmatch that one.but don't you need a large bandsaw for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar_ed Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Assuming that you can find the right saw & stabalize it properly, it would be a one piece top, not bookmatched. Guitar Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 that's quite a big bandsaw... you might be forced to cut it down the center so you could slice it into tops then just put them back together after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
