Colin that's good to know. This set was curly and I don't think you would find that on plantation grown mahogany. I could be wrong.

By the way, the Mad Rose fingerboards look fabulous, a real BRW substitute, now that Russell has all the good BRW ones in the UK .

Yes. These are the best. Very beautiful. The only down side is they have pores the size of canyons. But they look awesome.


In fact... not to brag -- but to merely illustrate how great this wood is -- LMI has sent me boards with lots more figure than even the ones in the pics.

I just ask them to pick out ones with great figure and color and they usually send me a great selection.

I will snap a couple of pics tonight if anyone is interested.
