But now you can see how that wood "popped" with the finish on it. tbrannon Senior Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 832 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2008 - 6:59 pm:    Wow! How come every buckeye top I see instantly becomes 'the best buckeye top I've ever seen'? Really nice- I like the flame figuring around the pickup area and near where the bridge will be. jerico Member Username: jerico Post Number: 95 Registered: 7-2005 Posted on Monday, July 21, 2008 - 7:15 pm:    Toby - I totally agree! That swirly top is kick @ss! Those two dimples down near the bottom are very cool. Gorgeous.

Looking forward to the day it arrives. Please post more pictures as soon as you can. Also, I would like to see the inlays that are going in as well, when you have them. Thanks again Paul davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6878 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Sunday, August 10, 2008 - 11:17 am:    Cool piece of Buckeye Burl!! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5453 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2008 - 4:08 pm:    Halfway through finish, with the Black MOP inlays: Next week I'll have you look at the artwork for the 24th fret inlay. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 6897 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, August 15, 2008 - 5:31 pm:    Cool !! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5623 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2008 - 8:33 pm:    Here's that 24th fret inlay: ptm1diver New Username: ptm1diver Post Number: 2 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 - 10:55 am:    Hi Mica, Please post some more photos. Its so close to being done I can taste it. I would like to see it with most of the finish, and the electronics as it comes together. The last few coats of finish seem like the slowest. Do not delay, photo it, finish it, and send it on its way. (I know, keep my day job.) Thanks This is way too cool.

Not long now! mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5685 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008 - 3:44 pm:    Done! Impossible to tell how beautiful from photographs. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 7194 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, November 21, 2008 - 7:53 pm:    Wow! That's beautiful! ptm1diver Junior Username: ptm1diver Post Number: 14 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Sunday, November 23, 2008 - 8:19 am:    Mica, The picture does not do it justice. You should have seen the drule (can't spell worth a ....) come out of my mouth when I first opened the box. Its an 11 out of 10 in person. I'm sorry to say that I had to leave it the day after receiving it to go on vacation. Its now locked in my safe. It will be played this holiday season, you can be sure about that. Can hardly wait to get home. But, it now has a brother. I got a beautiful Stanley in Coco to keep it company. Thanks to you, Susan, Mary, and everyone at Alembic. Paul
