Dal,
That is very nice, it looks like those "frozen" pictures you get when something has been dropped into a liquid and a droplet is suspended over the ripples.
Nice piece of wood as well.
Neil,
That is a tasty piece of wood and you will be able use it well.

Just looked back on a thread of January this year,, "how to build an electric guitar",, All credit to you guys and your guitar skills and knowledge,, I am now going to creep back into my corner and be very very quiet. ...
Hi Kalimna,, a lot of bands have made a hell of a career out of 3 chords and a 12th fret melody, and they didn"t live far from me.
