Found this on Ebay, dunno if it's any good to anyone, but I always fancied a Guitar with like a Walnut Burl finish. Looks like it's going to be a steal, guy just wants to get rid of it....

Yeah I didn't know how useful it would be to anyone, just thought I'd give you all a heads up as it seems to be going really cheap.  :D

I've just been on Google for hours looking for pictures of nice Burled wood and came across that Ebay auction above. Saw another couple of nice big bits of burled wood, but I'd never get around to using all of it. Plus I don't think my lady would take very kindly to me rolling a huge chunk of wood into our tiny apartment. I could make up some lame excuse like saying it would make a good coffee table, but we don't even have room for one of those, so that idea's out, lol!

probably more usefull for furniture restorers  - personally i dont like using veneer for tops because of issues with getting it glued down well and chipping at the edges - it can work well if you have a vacuum bag system though
