I come by my love of figured wood from my dad. I used to go with him to saw mills looking for figured wood when I was a youngster. I guess it rubbed off on me.

Anybody want to take a shot at identifying 1-7?

Extra credit for identifying the the fretboard in #7. ;-)

I was fortunate enough to see some 11top's stash in person. He was quite the host.

I'm doing cardio on the treadmill so won't take time to go for all seven, but 4 is mahogany from The Tree. I will never in my life forget that guitar.
 
steve, great collection of wood. i would have expected a figured wook guy to actually have shelves made of figured wood...
 
Jesse gets a mark in the correct column.

And that set of wood became this:


I remember well the conversation.

Steve: Hey, Jesse...check this out...(hands me guitar)...
Me: (amazed)
Steve: You know what wood that is?
Me: It looks like mahogany, but mahogany doesn't do this...
Steve: Well...it did...once.
Me: (amazed^2)

The Tree haunts my dreams.
 
I have been to the 11Top Library and the PRS Wood Library a few times now. There is actually more exotic wood in Steve's than Paul's!!!

Is that a plank of purple heart in the first two pics I see???

I think I see a Giant hunk of English walnut with 2 guitars in it??
