    I've got a 20mm thick bookmatched pair from the same timber:



    A bit rough in places, but I'm just going to embrace it. I'm planning on using it as a cap for a Les Paul (ish) carve top, and also the front and back of something entirely different.

    Looks like you've ended up with a piece that has more figure than the two pieces I have. Looks nice.

    Yep, I'm actually thinking about using it for a drop top on a BC Rich Eagle Neck Through scratch build
