This Quilted Maple looks really cool:

 
It's got that sausagy-shaped figure you like and then it blends into a sprinkling of coin-sized dimples - pretty and unusual. As you know, if it looks this good off the beltsander, just think what it will look like when the finish goes on.

Some of the best QM we've ever had is here!  

 

  We now have the supreme tops for the Alembirds. Chip finished the test neck on Friday. We should have all the answers about pickup placement within a week or two. Then building starts.

Mica:
 
Amazing stuff...let's use those 2 boards for the tops!  
 
Let me know when it's time to talk pickups!
