He's still trying to cut through Mike's tape job!
Eric you look like you are planning to build some geetars- I see quilted tops and fretboard material out of Macassar ebony and ziricote. Are you moonlighting? Lol. Very, very nice haul!Oh we have to show what's inside? Don't be jealous people. LOL

You are outfitted now with your Supermax, Tim.That’s just sick! I really want to try that, big reason for replacing my belt sander
I'd be more than happy to help you make a plan for that. Really pretty wood in that box.I'm happy. Don't have any plans for it yet.
Wow! That is spectacular! Bob definitely needs to post more of his work. :)I got a box today from @Bob Ireland and all I can say is WOW!
There was a new pen, two spindle blanks (sumac and ipe), a spalted maple blank, and then a cherry bowl that is jaw dropping! Not only is the turning in itself spectacular, but the decoration on the rim and the back is superb! You’ve given me great inspiration Bob to try some different techniques as well. Thank you so much and we need you to post more of your work!!

Thank you for the kind words. The pen is Desert Ironwood. The texturing is just a ball bur in a Dremel tool.No doubt, and provide some lessons along the way to go with the pictures!
Ah, someone here has a 3rd guitar going and the back and sides of it would compliment that Macassar ebony fretboard on your left………cough, cough.I'm happy. Don't have any plans for it yet.
Oh and I didn’t say you have to sell it or regift it (oh pretend you didn't hear that from me and it was a subliminal voluntary whisper from the universe). You can exchange gifts with that guy building a guitar- that is allowed right?It was a gift to me. It would be pretty $h!tty to sell it! LOl
I missed this somehow, that looks good! great job with that!Glad you like it, Tim. I hope it brings you and your wife some fun hours. To give credit where due, the olive main board came from Laith (@Whatever5784 ); the spalted walnut came from Eric (@Eric Rorabaugh ); and the curly maple insert was from a bunch of thins I got from Mike (@Mike1950 ). The pegs came from a supplier called The Cribbage Guy. Don't look too close at my work though.
