Not my taste, but increadible craftmanship!

How many neck through stringers are there? I counted 19 or as many as 23 depending on the picture.

Can the upper horn open a beer bottle?

But seriously,enjoy it.

Oh.... my... god...


It reminds me of the Soul Edge weapons in the Soul Calibur games, mutated and freakish and gorgeous. absolutely fantastic alembic-ish vibe.

Keep going. I counted 37.

 

[mark beem]

Keep going. I counted 38.

IIRC I think there's like 43 (maybe 45) total.. I know the total count is over 40..

Sweet Lands.....

I'm looking at it from a laptop. I guess I need a larger and clearer screen. I kept counting saying, "It couldn't be that many."

 

[Mark Wilson]

Actually, the total is 47!

For those of you counting, it's actually 47 lams. 4 are kinda hard to see because we miscalculated the width we needed for the neck (by a .10 of an inch!) so we "doubled" some of the thin stringers with a purpleheart/paduak combo - however they just look a little bit thicker than the other lines.

Here it is from left to right:
1. Ebony
2. Flame Maple
3. Ebony
4. Mahogany
5. Maple
6. Purpleheart
7. Paduak
8. Flame Maple
9. Paduak
10. Purpleheart
11. Maple
12. Purpleheart
13. Maple
14. Purpleheart
15. Flame Maple
16. Paduak
17. Maple
18. Wenge
19. Maple
20. Paduak
21. Flame Maple
22. Purpleheart
23. Maple
24. Purpleheart (Middle)
25. Maple
26. Purpleheart
27. Flame Maple
28. Paduak
29. Maple
30. Wenge
31. Maple
32. Paduak
