: That's pretty cool looking wood Malcolm, where'd you get it?

: Bill H.

I got it on eBay. I wrote the guy asking to make me a deal for three sets (again, these were being sold as guitar backs). I have asked him in the future when he gets wood like this to let me know before he cuts it. I would just love to do a big wide accent stripe out of this stuff. It's very expensive but this is a very special build and I wanted to pull out all the stops. Wait 'til ya see the bubinga, walnut, and maple together. It's gorgeous. My scrap pile is rapidly becoming very valuable. I'm not throwing away even the smallest piece.
