Rick500 Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcissism Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Check out the grain in this sexy MDF! Oooooooooooooh yeah!

NotYou Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD83 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
