    Actually, there's an almost perfect picture of an atomic bomb blast!! A mushroom cloud!! Might go good with some of those Los Alamos carbon fiber rods! Pretty cool!

Bob, have had a chance to bend a set of sides of this gorgeous wood? If so, did it bend nicely?

Man I can just picture a guitar made from this with a nice Amboyna Burl rosette. Zootalicious!
