Rick500 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) That burl may be mappa (European black poplar). I have a Parker Hornet with a mappa burl top that looks just like that.

Hey Ron, I know I've been out of touch. I've been so busy I can't see straight!!! The F-holes (or should I say G-holes) are an outstanding idea and look really good! I would have to say to you trust your gut on what you're doing, you seem to have a very creative thinking process and doing well with it!

komodo Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Ya, that wood in the second pic is indeed Mappa burl. I tried to get some interest around here to buy some actual mappa burl lumber (billets) , but nobody was interested. It is very expensive and usually used for veneer. You can get chunks of it, but have to have it shipped in larger quantities from Italy/Croatia/Germany . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man,I am really taking my time ...two reasons...1.It is for someone else and 2. I learned from my first build to stop when I get tired.I have alot more work to do ,I'am going to widen the head stock and lam it and I'am going to take more wood out of the top and reinforse the bridge and pickup area.I sculped the back slitely to give it a little concave effect.The G's in the top are still a little ruff ,so I still have to clean them up.

Xanthus Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I dig! Although the sunburst detail looks too much like a certain recreational plant... He knows what I'm talking about. Looking good though, mate! I like builds that put a lot of care into the construction, like hand carving and stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
