Wow.  It pays to stop by the Zoot cave (RC Tonewoods) on a regular basis.  Of course it usually ends up making the piggy bank a bit lighter.

Very nice. Do the sides have that much figure as well?

Shawn - yes the sides are quite nice also.  Click on the RC Tonewoods link in the sponsor list at the top of the page and click on the Zebra wood link in the new listings section.  As you probably know, ALL of the OLF wood suppliers in the link list have incredible wood sets which many times show up with little notice and are gone in a couple of days.  Maybe we need a "New Zoot" notice section on the board  .

I've got some zebrawood, but it pales in comparison. Wow! I can’t wait to hear how it sounds. Bob, what kind of stain did you apply to it if any? I've been considering leaving mine unstained, but I like the richness of what you've got. Is that just the sealed product or has it been stained?

No stain. Just wiped with naptha for pic's. No stain on the finished body either.
Sam I haven't bent this wood myself. I would imagine as with any high figured woods that care needs to be taken. I would probably use the Supersoft II product.

Jared,
Mine also pales in comparison, but here is what it looks like with Zpoxy pore fill and french polished with blond shellac. This is a set I purchased from Bob and it was great to work with and bent easily.

These pictures are making me drool. I'm excited to see how mine turns out. Until then, I'll just enjoy the journey.
