: Wwwwooooowwww! That is just gorgeous. I'm using Peruvian Walnut on

: "What I Ride" series. I'm documenting the build on my

: Check out the bubinga and quilted maple too. I posted pics at the
: link.

: Did you find the Peruvian Walnut almost smells like rosewood when
: cut? I wonder if it is related.

I do love the figured woods, not sure about the smell seemed simular to black walnut. Much nicer than the Alaskan cedar I used on the hull. My wife said I smelled like gasoline. It is really strong. Joe
