If this is set 'Quilted Bubinga #005' it is still available. I just looked again.

I'd buy it if I wasn't working for an airline, and if I wasn't afraid to BEND it!

Good thing it's not thick enough for an archtop or I'd be lusting in my heart.

I love the wood! I do have a question about the sap wood. Is it a good thing to have or a bad thing? Maybe it makes no difference in quality but just looks?

Hey Nelson .. I know where there is lots thick enough for an archtop Just looked at it today actually.

this came out of a similar tree, and surprisingly bends easier IMO than the typical big quilt bubinga.
