Scotti,
Ok I'll start with my Quilted Driftwood.
Thats real stunning..is it one piece?...kinda hard to tell from the pic...looks to be....Im leaning toward that big quilted look....thanks
Mine is a two piece, but his latest is a one piece
Darby seems like a nice guy and I've heard a few of his Rose mandolins and they are a great value. #But, his name last name is "Boofer" according to his business card.Quote:

Darryl..simply stunning......ok..Im ignorant....what species are those?
Birds eye
species?...who knows...both July 9, 23's
in other words....what kind of maple are they?
..that Birdseye looks really good too.
Scotti,
Darby's seen the birdseye and he was very iimpressed. If you remind him it was at the eastman get together near DC and it's an Old Wave.
they are supposed to be Eastern Michigan maple...however, 74000 on the right is so so so light weight, I have to think that it is simply some East Coast soft mapleQuote:

Well, it ain't one-piece but it sure is pretty...

I'd go with those loars. Bigleaf maple?

Along with Ricky's old Ellis, I think this is the most stunning back I have ever seen...
