Here's another one... my Buckeye Burl 5  
Doesn't really show in these pics but it can have some pretty amazing looking grain... looks like chocolate mountains under a cloudy beige sky.  |

| | | | Bryan R Tylers old elrick looks very nice with two tone fretboard. The other pics just look like damaged fretboards to me somehow. Maybe if I saw the rest of the neck...dunno
