Educational for me so I thought I'd pass it on!

I would love to see a video on how this dual tops are made. Love the look, but puzzled if they go thru a CNC?

So if I understand correctly, the second wood on the top is a veneer?

Veneer would imply a paper thin sheet applied (like SE exotics). This is much thicker wood glued to wood.

Man, that double-neck... no way will that and my “available balance” ever coincide.

I'm swooning over the crazy fades on those quilted scraps!!!

Oh, and I would never have heard the words "camel inlays" and imagined anything like what I just saw... Those are stunning!
