croquet hoop said:Awesome figure on both sides! I thought it was a boatneck too, but according to the heel it's a 59 roundback.
Is that Bacote? Amazing

Cagey said:Right. That's why Taylor decided to buy into the whole thing. Such waste was inexcusable. Those trees take forever to grow, so just laying them to waste was a serious crime against nature. There's little difference in feel between streaky Ebony and black Ebony, so if you have to, dye it. No reason to waste it just because it's not "pure" black. Beside that, as we've seen, there's a lot to be said for the streaky stuff. Some of it is incredibly attractive.
