Figured maple basses!

I'm going to be making another bass with my friend shortly, I was wondering if anyone could post pictures of their figured maple basses, specifically Birdseye or Burl!

Also if you have any pictures of a bass using canary as a facing, If the wood joint I'm going too doesn't have good figures I might try using Canary

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.
