funkle Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Check out these examples of highly figured mahogany http://www.hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woo...any,%20misc.htm There is a really nice guitar at the bottom of the page made from a mahogany crotch (ouch) -Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 mt carved top and my beast are both crotch mahogany...you just can't see it in the pics yet because of the rough sanding..,the figuring on mine is actually better than that guitar and as good as anything else on that page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 thanksbrian.ya'll be careful when picking out crotch mahogany though....the more highly figured it is the more it wants to crack...you have to be careful cutting it and on mine you can see in the pics where the glue came through...when i was routing out the back turns ouyt that area was a HUGE defect...so i had to turn it into a neck thru...looks better now imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
