Remember that $1000 boards?

Well here it is finally converted yielding 15 good one piece front and back sets with plenty of rib material

My sawyer did a great job getting a very high yield from this board and when opened up, there were very few inclusions and dodgy pieces. Gamble paid off!

Nice looking koa Pete. Know your going to put that to some good use.

Oh no Pete. That wood has got wet. Look at tall those wrinkles in it.

Nice when you can lay your hands on some timber that nice and get a yield like that.

It's really a candidate for bookmatching but I love the idea of unique one piece front and backs and the biggy - no seam separation!
