Well, hard to say. Although these boards are gorgeous, the look highly unstable to me. The one from the second picture looks better though. It could probably make it for back & sides. But not the first one.

And I would certainly not use any of those for necks.

I was thinking along the same lines with one question. The first one, could it be used for necks by laminating in a .250" maple center strip and/or carbon rods? If not, it'll end up making neck/tail blocks and some bling binding. (or that some of those dang bookshelves my wife keeps asking for...lol)

The parts where the grain is the most strait, I guess you could go with laminating them. But for the rest, bookshelves it is! Of course, bindings will be awesome, I think. You should have enough bindings in there for a couple of years...
