That is some pretty straight grain in the ash.. Good work Wilser!

That top... Dude... I think I'm in love... It's like the love child of molten lava and wood. Freaking awesome!

All around immaculate looking work. Crisp and clean. Very nice neck transition too.

Are there two pieces of ash in the body sandwich?

Well done, interesting finish.

Looks great, tung oil and wax, your choice or Larry's (must have a really nice feel to it)?

there are 2 pieces of ash there. pics of this were posted on that thread about haters saying that poly glue leaves a dark glue line.

oil is never my choice, I prefer thick glossy finishes. I think Larry chose oil for economic reasons, but he may be rethinking that in the near future (got an email from him a few days ago saying he may want it refinished soon in glossy).

Amboyna burl and birdseye maple are a killer combo IMO - nice work Wils!

In a world full of objects,
it is important,
as an object maker,
to make nice things.

Excellent.

Well, I had a hard time telling if there was on the finished product. It was done well.
