Fancy figured woods...

[Louie Atienza]

Thought it would be cool to start a thread with some nice woods you may have collected along the way, waiting for that special project.

I have to get the pics from my phone the 'hard' way but will get some pics up in a bit...

[Ron Belanger]

Sounds good, I'll take a few photos

I've posted this before on the old forum, but wanted to test pics here. It's Tasmanian Blackwood.

Couldn't get a good picture of this. Quilted maple that I boolmatched for a Tele top. Goes from tubular quilt to lost a "popcorn" quilt, with some burl clusters to boot...

[Daniel Macdonald]

Thanks Barry, I dont know Shane but we have not been open long so that is probably not a surprise.

[Michael Turner]

Little bit of Birdseye

Shedua

Some "odd" colored quilt maple, and the color is due to horse urine!

Small stick of eastern hard maple with very small blister figure

Figured katalox

[Chuck Tweedy]

I have been dying to build with this cocobolo for years. It will need to be a 4-piece back, but with this much ink, it is easy to hide the joint.
I got it at the local Rockler - three planks of the most pathetic looking grungy old oxidized wood you ever saw. Literally looked like creosote soaked railroad ties. I'd seen them in there for at least a year and passed them over - like everyone else - until I decided to take a closer look and scraped a small corner clean.

[Judd Holt]

Chuck, that sure looks like zircote.

[Louie Atienza]

Some nice stuff there... keep it coming!

[Chuck Tweedy]

Hey Judd, it sure does, but I can assure you it is cocobolo. The smell and the color (in person) is unmistakable.
