Well, my favorite in the zoot stash is my curly spanish cedar back/side set. I put some curly spalted maple headplates and rosette blanks in thepicture as well, because I like them, and there was room to fit them in there  Attachment: cedro.jpg The burl looks really sweet. I was thinking of getting some Amboyna burl for headplates/rosettes, but this belizean rosewood burl looks awesome too. Christian |

Waterfall Bubinga - but I'm frozen in a state of "paralysis by analysis". I can't decide whether to put the sapwood in the center or the heartwood.  Curly Mac Ebony - already a drop top on one electric guitar, another bit waiting for the right set of curly sides...  Old-growth Brazilian Rosewood, c/o The Argentine - a friend's inheritance from his father who used to build grandfather clocks for the rich & famous in South America. Air dried for at least 40 years.

I have been hunting hard and squirreling away some very nice Madrose. Here is one of my piles, all QS, most figured. These are the bass FB's LMI was making their 4 pc sets from. Attachment: pile-of-mrw.jpg Here are a few choice examples (sorry for the poor photos/glare) Attachment: mrw-set-1.jpg Attachment: mrw-set-2.jpg Another special flitch I have been saving is this one, some QS and very curly Osage Orange. The boards I got yielded about 5-7 sets depending on how careful I want to be... Here is a close up. Attachment: osage-close.jpg And last but not least (and technically not zoot, but oh well) is the only set I have seen (although I am sure someone else has done this) of genuine Walrus Oosik bridge pins. Kind of gross, kind of awesome, if I can say so myself. Attachment: oosik.jpg Filippo, that burl looks so nice!! I am jealous. |
