That's a heck of a drop off on the headstock.

The fret board isn't finished..

Was the Spalt natural, or did you induce it? Must have been a large holly tree !!!

Natural and yes it had been trimmed down many times prior to loosing the battle.

Nice,I was going to ask what the body wood was,it's sure got a lot of character.That must've been a big holly!

Hideous.... :bassist:
