Here's a piece of Coco Bolo that Val had reserved for you. Since Bob is preparing to do the layouts and get wood dust flying an glue smearing, I wanted to see if this was still the piece you wanted:
back?
Your QCB is peeking out below.

this was the original top lam for scooter.
it has possibilities but would like to see some of the newer stock very swirly, mid to high contrast on the red side if such a beast exists
thanks
dont think thats a tribute template correct?
reminds me of a gator snout if you lift the tape up
this was a kind of rich red when we acetoned it if i rem correctly- was almost 2 yrs ago

Here's the piece untaped as you requested, and I marked a proposed placement if you go for this piece:
layout

I won't be able to show you other slabs until Tuesday, but I've got it marked down so Bob can coordinate with me. I'll post more then if you aren't super thrilled with this one.

I saw the body core cut out and waiting, so once we get the layouts done, we'll be ready to get the body assmebled.

mica
just occired to me you might have to rip the boards to do the layout

not necessary- one half of the bass is fine- my mind will do the rest
any way of removing the marks running across one of the boards

Here's the two boards. 7521:
7521

and 7522:
7522

If you want to try and wrap this up today, we'll have to skip resurfacing. I think you can see pretty well through the chatter in that one region on 7521, at least enough to tell me which board you prefer for a layout line. Let me know your preference.

Here's the layouts, Jeff:
7521 chalked

7522 chalked

These are rough and oversize (the chalk adds about a 1/4" all around), but you get the general idea. Let me know which one you prefer. Enjoy!

We ready to rip this board. In your last post, are you asking us to reverse the template on 7521? I'm not sure I understand.
