This isn't sliced up yet, but making this topic will remind me to have it done sometime:

Just scraped along the top.   

Hard to tell how sweet it is in this state, so you can enjoy a <a href="http://club.alembicguitars.net/Images/393/8393.jpg] picture of the bowl my uncle Bob made for Valentino</a> until we make an instrument from this beautiful wood.

The bowl is beautiful!  I'll have to have breakfast at Val's house someday.
 
The scrape is intriguing.

very interesting bowl
is this cut yet?
is it pricey?

Is that Australian Jarrah?

Yessiree! We're making a fretless Rogue for our showroom out of some of this slab right now.

Could you post a picture of it sliced?
 
Is there an upcharge to use it as top wood on a Rogue?

We've been emailing about this wood, but I'll update the rest of the Club too. Jarrah Burl is the same price as Burl Maple.
 
Here's a bass we're making for our showroom that's in carving right now:
 

 
Can't wait for this one to be done!
 
It's a fretless Rogue with a Mahogany/Vermilion/Ebony neck. It's got side LEDs too, I just don't recall what color they are at this moment.

What is the aim with that neck combination?
Is there an upcharge for mahogany & vermillion?

Are those little cavities in the surface? How will they be filled?

Oh sure - like most burls, the Jarrah has some voids. We're planning on filling the voids in this piece with an Ebony dust/epoxy mixture - should coordinate with the Ebony neck laminate and fingerboard, and accentuate some of the interesting things about this piece.  
 
We're thinking this neck will make a nice warm, rounded fretless sound, with the excellent sustain of the Ebony. Pricing depends on the model, Susan can answer any specific questions by email.

Ok stuff like that definitely deserves a build thread even if it isn't for anyone particular.

Even if there isn't a FTC, I'd really like to see how this one turns out ;-)
 
Graeme

I have just ordered a 5 string Rogue in this wood - so maybe we could have an FTC thread for both basses.

David-
Is the Rogue going to be for personal use or for the shop?
 
Care to share build details- neck woods, electronics?
 
Toby

Toby - it is for our display stock. 34 scale, Orion peghead (which I think really suits the Rogue body shape). The rest is standard Rogue.
