Gryphon, I dropped the bubinga off with my stock maker and he was well pleased with the quality of the timber. He has done a few before (years ago) and he emphasised that the profiling although a little slower and it being a little more prone to splintering, the result can be stunning. When I mentioned the price of the timber and the fact that he can get two stocks out of it his eyes lit up and he asked if I would select some of the planks available for himself.
