This is the most figured wood I have ever encountered in my entire life.....
Extra bonus: Those tops have been Salvaged from a 2000 year old tree!

I am currently working on a 7 string order which will feature one of these spectacular tops. I shall post some pictures when the instrument will be completed, but for now:

ahaha...

I was looking through the archives for helpful information and I found a post of some fellow with a very, very anatomical looking piece of wood, and he called it porn - and then everyone on the whole forum got into some huge slugging match over the use of the word porn and putting up pictures and stuff... it was soooooo ridiculous! lol, half of the posts were people saying "are you guys really this uptight over such a small thing?"

I'm glad that hasn't happened here! Keep the woodporn coming!

No slugging match here.
The wiki definition for the word porn is..
"The explicit portrayal of sexual subject matter for the purposes of sexual arousal and erotic satisfaction".
So....
I like wood,
but not that much.
