I see two escimos rubbing noses on the upper bout.

and i one set of sweet high figure bubinga , nice.

Bob you must have your fingers in many pies to source all that special grade wood.

I dont think people realise how rare high figured wood is.
with the average species only one log in every 100 will produce figure of that quality.

you are doing a special service getting that wood out to the world you are an inspiration,


Joel.

Joel I thank you very much for your kind words. I read all your posts with great interest.
Your latest on the scarcity of mahogany and alternate neck woods was especially interesting.

I see two faces. One is the Dunkin' Donuts Guy ("Time to make the donuts...")
and the face of the snowman voiced by Burl Ives in the TV special "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer".

I see two aardvarks in a cave eating waffles and watching Andy Griffith reruns. And one of them appears to be holding a tie-rod from a '52 Chrysler. The one on the left, that is.

But that's just me........

Is this a Luthier's Rorschach test?

All I see is an ink spill !

You won't use this against me...any of you! I'm not paranoid either!
