This piece of lumber has an even color with pomelle figured grain! There are lots of subtle figure that would be good for larger projects! There is a 1/16" cup on the numbered end while there is a 1/8" cup on the other end but it still seems flat because the piece is large. Kiln dried and surfaced on two sides. Must be able to work with the noted defects. Suitable for base or electric guitars. It would also be great for furniture!
