shredforbread33 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Not very "cool" but I think it's nice. 2 piece Padauk body I glued up (Not with just one clamp ). -Marshall Edited February 4, 2009 by shredforbread33 Quote
avengers63 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) WAY COOL!!! A dedicated thread for wood porn! Here's some nice canarywood I bookmatched for use on the small table I'm making. One is glued up & planed down, the other is still waiting. Edited February 4, 2009 by avengers63 Quote

dpm99 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 Ok, I'll do it. I haven't put up any pictures of the wood I'm using on my current project, but I just have to show this one off. Madagascar Rosewood: Quote
avengers63 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 A really wide piece of chechen I used for the first body I sold. Quote

Here's a black limba body blank I recently glued up: And with that, I'm back to wanting to use black limba on my next body. Quote
Rick500 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Posted February 4, 2009 Yeah, I've really come to love the stuff myself. I've kinda been hoarding it the past few months. Whenever I see a nice piece, I buy it if it's reasonably-priced. Quote
Narcissism Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 Check out the grain in this sexy MDF! Oooooooooooooh yeah! [disclaimer] the previous post was in every way possible meant to be a joke for lols. Any offence should brought to Narcissism through PM... On a serious note, I'm pretty proud of the Mahogany that I bought for my bass project! Quote
avengers63 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Here's a cool spalt I call "Mr Happy Face". Cuz, you know... I don't get out much. Quote
kpcrash Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Ahh... wood porn. Here's a piece of curly ambrosia maple I just picked up. It's a total of 9.2 bd ft. and right now - as you can see - it's in the state of highest potential. Quote
NotYou Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Here's a cool spalt I call "Mr Happy Face". Cuz, you know... I don't get out much. http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff15/av...mrhappyface.jpg I have never been jealous of a pice of wood. I have a lot of pieces still in my stash that I've been waiting for the right time to use. This is one of my favorites. A big straight-grained board of Macassar ebony. The photo makes it looks a little different. It's very black and tan. It should look like Guinness made a guitar neck when i find the right body to use it on. I found some unusually white Spanish cedar near where I live that I think would work. Edited February 5, 2009 by NotYou Quote
Rick500 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 Nice pieces, all. I like the happy face! Here's some more black limba for you, j.pierce: Quote
avengers63 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 hehehehehehe NotYou is jealous of my wood. I used to get that a lot in the locker room. My wife swears I act like I'm 12 most of the time. I can't figure out why. Quote

SD83 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Beautiful wood... I love that limba Some plum from my girlfriends garden... all about 1 meter long and 10-12 cm wide, cut in October, so I still have to wait a while until I can use them. those will become fretboards one day and those a one-piece neck and the other one some pieces for a multi-piece neck (too much sapwood & some cracks which you can't see on the picture) (sry for the bad pictures... crappy camera) Edited February 5, 2009 by SD83 Quote
