[BAD RONBO, KiLLeR DWaRfS]

I know what my missus would do with that and she would swear blind it made the onions easier to chop .

Imagine, a 4001 cutting block! Useful, practical...........

WOW, GORGEOUS MARK!!!

Indeed. I find that black enhances the bird's eye grain quite nicely.

Transblack????

In the attempt to upgrade the original top wing, this piece may be a little too nice to be a good match. But I do have another less-flashy piece that may be a more accurate match for the RM bottom wing. I'm planning on cutting both pieces down to the top wing shape and see which is a better visual match. If I don't use the nicer piece, then maybe I'll cut a bottom piece from the same block and have the beginnings of a new project altogether.

Things that make me go "hmmmmm..."

Transblack????

You say this in jest, but the Transblack concept is an idea I have for yet another project for The Harley bass involving a facelift with snazzy veneer & various other whatnots.

Not trying to bogart the thread, but that slab would make a great 3000 body!
