Yeti,very nice work. Is that stock a transition between English and American? The colors seem to be quite different. Fiddleback like that is difficult to sand and get straight without waves. Once again very nice work.

Yeti: Good work and great looking wood, I enjoy looking at this sort of work, effort and mother nature's artistry. --- John Can.

What is the LOP of that stock? It looks like it's about 18" from the angle of the camera. Beautiful work. You've been blessed with an extraordinary talent.

Second John's comment. Length does appear Yeti-esque but not abominably so. Do I detect spalting to left of tiger wood?

Yeti,
That's a very nice job! I'll be interested in seeing your checkering pattern when you're finished.

It's a 15 1/8th LOP with a slight concave curve to the bottom line of the stock. It's claro, I don't think it's grafted, and there was no soft spots in the wood (I think that's what spalting means...no? It does have open grain with lots of big pores that are now black spots). I'm going with a very plain point pattern for checkering.
