Southpa Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Nope, not like spankin the chikkin or chokin' the monkey, but I DID get one of my Western maple burls slabbed! One of a couple freebies that were sitting in a friend's yard and not your usual burls either. Some look like cancerous growths, brittle, heavy and hard to handle, these ones are lightweight with concentric, guitar-shaped growth rings. I had the larger ones cut at 2" thick for later resawing into bookmatches and the smaller ones into 3/4" one piece tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mors Phagist Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Are those wide enough to have a top (Or full guitar) cut out of them? They seem a bit too skinny unless you plan on bookmatching them. But yeah, cool pieces and I'd like to see what you do with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Mulch Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Kind of reminds me of a geode. A shame probably can't stain/paint it to look like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
