    Default Bored again so heres some WOOD for yah :P lol

    Joke aside and Ok yah i am bored and i decided to have a energy drink like 15 min ago so im a little wired(not a good idea i can tell you that much, as i have class at 8 tomorrow and who knows when i will fall asleep)

    but anyways i guess here is another teaser pic of the latest board, this is as much as i can show of the top without giving away the rest of it ( yah the board has like zero shape other than concave, but whatever i pressed it ages ago) but with wood like this you now can tell why i want to preserve as much of the figure as possible, and was wondering about the clearest grip methods possible. unfortunately the board might get held off for a couple weeks due to a 20% test comming up in two weeks (Process System theroy, is oh so much fun )

    Caffeine Caffeine Caffeine my sweet little friend :P :P muahahah

    But anyways back to reality heres a pic mmmmmm so tasty for free wood wouldnt you say .

    Look great!

    Koa?

    And about the symmetry, isn't it called "bookmatching" or something like that? A lot of guitars are made that way.

    yah thats called bookmatching, you have to have consecutive sheets of veneer to do that but some species of woods you can do it exactly like that due to grain figure as it will be like having a postive grain figure then a negative one right beside it, but it still looks good that way.

    And the wood is Black Walnut which i got free with some other veneer i got awhile ago
