Thought you guys don't mind me sharing some insane wood porn.... :D

This is some highly figured redwood I just jointed and glued which comes from a 1500-2000 years old salvaged giant redwood tree...

That will make some sweet top. How many tops will you get out of that?

on the picture you can see 1 top I just bookmatched, jointed and glued to a sapelli mahogany body... ;)
 
Where/how did you come actoss the wood? Very very nice. What are you going to make?
 
I've already built a guitar with a similar top but this time it will be a headless :)
 
Unreal. Would love to see PICS of the finished guitar.

yep, I like flame more that quilt but on the right guitar quilt can be awesome. I prefer trans finises wher you can see wood grains.
