I have some incredibly beautiful deep dark, rock hard, figured wood that was destined to become guitar fretboards
Unfortunately the company went bust. I was their real estate broker and had the opportunity to buy some of this wood up (along with the luthiers bench where Johnny Cash, Eddie Van Halen and a few other stars sat while their guitars were being taken care of,)
South America was already well settled at the time most of the guns we are interested in were made. I find it hard to believe that some of these exotics never made it into any of them.
I'm thinking about combining some into the wooden patch box, an inlay or two, and maybe as a nose cap in a Chambers Smooth Rifle build I'm doing.
