I made a couple guitars out of this. I never get sick of looking at the grain. Beautiful stuff. Never stain it directly, or it looses its shimmer, (Chatoyance). Clear coat it first, then add color.
I have a slab that is 7" vertically and the growth rings are in the shape of a U and I am hoping you can get me a better idea of how you would go about cutting it yourself to get the best possible grade in the cap
So do you sell any of the pieces that you cant get a flat surface out of and are not up to standard for making guitars from? I'd really be interested in purchasing some of the stuff with the defects.

There you go
Beautiful stuff! I'm living on the west coast, picking this stuff up off the beach for free. Lol. It's a blessing!
incredible!
I live in Arlington, Wa. Big Leaf Maples grow like weeds here. I have several huge ones on my property.
Any with figure?
Can you send me some?
Thee most beautiful wood I have ever seen!
Thanks
Keep ‘em coming DK👍
Thanks Brother Will do
It needs to be harvested thoughtfully. They are a huge part of the Pacific Northwest Eco . I'm going to try to harvest the sap for syrup.
I had an entire quilted log (the video is on my channel milling it). I made a conference table for Wood-Mizer out of 3 of the slabs. Gorgeous wood.
That burl you held up looks like scar tissue. Amazing man! You got a sub from me.
