erikbojerik Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 For a carved top, 1/2" to 3/4" thickness before carving. For bookmatched curly bubinga, expect to pay at least $150-$200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryovanni Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Yep, What Erik said. depending on how strong you want the carve, 1/2"-3/4" will do the job. The 1/2" sometimes can get a bit thin if you carve strong, 3/4" would allow you to maintain 1/4" and get a good strong carve(and account for a bit of surfacing).
