I was working in our shop today and came across this piece of spanish cedar. Wow, it would make a nice body!
We make screened doors for some of our custom houses from spanish cedar and one of the guys pulled this board aside, Thankfully:hyper:. I though it worthy of posting.

I googled it & got a couple of acoustic guitars w/similarly-figured tops. If I could get the piece pictured here I'd be in trouble, though...

I had never seen spanish cedar with this kind of figuring either but looking closer at the actual board you can pick up on the cedar grain.
I noticed one of the doors that the guys had made up had some flaming in it and told them to keep an eye out for this kind of wood and don't use it in a screen door! I'm glad that they caught this one.
Here is a picture from a different angle and the other end of the board. Nice thing is, the figuring is just about this strong on both sides.
