Seen lots of stained figured maple that looks like crap.
Seen lots of it dyed with Transtint or similar quality dye
that looks stunning.- Hide quoted text -

Oops, forgot to post pics. I feel that my work on this piece falls
into the stunning category. The 20 watchers on eBay agreed and the guy
who jumped for the buy-it-now option expressed his anxiety at waiting
and he said he just had to spring for the buy-it-now price before
someone else bought it. He got a great deal.

Sorry for the long url, not sure how to make them short with my
current web setup.

Everything about the piece is "stunning", from design, to execution to
finish.

A beautifully done masterpiece ... congratulations!!

Yea... that is pretty cool.

I will never forget a friend of mine showing me a Les Paul (1956 IIRC)
and the back was birds-eye... they looked like pearls.. 3D pearls
floating in inter-stellar space... awesome..... No LSD.. but his girl
brewed some interesting teas.
That effect was so incredible, the back of that guitar looked like it
was 4" deep.
I heard he later sold it and paid off his mortgage.
