This guy has some of the heaviest birdseye I have ever seen. Check him out, he's a great guy. http://lumberjocks.com/topics/2781 Vinman |

At the scale of binding, it will be difficult to get Bird's Eye Maple to reveal its treasure. Me, I wouldn't bother... |

That was my thought, too, but what do I know. Seems like some really curly maple bindings would show off better. |

And if the commission is just in love with birds eye trim, you could offer the alternate of the heel cap. |

It depends on the birds eye. If you can find some densely figured stuff, it could be fine. There is a randomness about it that is a cool look IMO. Attachment: Z2Head.jpg I've used it on headstocks, Tail grafts and heals. Let us know how it turned out. Wade |
