How does 'Jesus spalting' impact tone?

I love spalting but I wasn't lucky enough to get any divine beings on my bass.

It probably is but the seller knows that Entwistle on a chair would only fetch $5k!

I dunno man, you got a little bit of Jesus going on to the right of the second knob from the top. I see an eye and some hair.

That's actually a picture of "Wizard," a speedfreak who used to hang around the campus at UC Santa Cruz in 1979. He'd scratch self-portraits of himself into old lumber with a nail. He died when he tried to fly off the overpass on Water Street and fell into traffic.

These portraits occasionally turn up sold by hippies at the flea market for as much as $2. One that was on a chair might bring as much as $5.

I made all that up, but it's substantially more plausible that it being a miraculous appearance of Our Lord's countenance.

Just cuz some random piece of wood has grain lines that outline a face, suddenly it HAS to be Jesus, and we all fall to our knees?

They say the chair has healing powers. If so, why don't they just give it to a chair-ity?

It is morally unethical to let a fool keep his money.

Wouldn't that be considered a (en)graven image?

Looks like a member of Lamb of God.

Would that statement make the universe implode?

I don't know. John Lennon could be Ozzy Osbourne's brother and it doesn't make any more sense.

And you could throw Geddy Lee in the mix too.

Mufasa believes in Jesus too. Here, take a look at him from behind. The power of the lord invades all.
