eep, it looks like a map of Pangaea.

Fossilized dino turds? Looks like something you'd see in a museum in New Mexico or something. To each his own, right!

 

[Tempest]

My thoughts exactly, I like some spalt but that's just weird.

 

[hannaugh]

I think it's cool looking in a natural history museum kind of way, but the different colors are kind of odd. 

 

[Super Turbo Deluxe Custom]

Different strokes I guess.  Looks like terrazzo to me.

 

[line6man]

It sort of looks like really fancy wallpaper.

Due to the multitude of structural defects, we can only recommend this set to the experienced builder, aware of the problems associated with filing / stabilizing / hardening such material.
Not for me, then.....
NT, you can have it!

.... I friggen love this wood. Dont really know why, but it made my jaw drop. I would buy it and have someone like Ormsby build me a guitar out of it (ormsby is an australian luthier, check out his work, its absolutely incredible, best I have ever seen by a private luthier, www.ormsbyguitars.com...also cool, he has documentaries on almost all his builds, wow this is a long description hahaha.) Sorry about that haha.
