Desert Ironwood
Matched desert ironwood scales .. these are going to look SWEET !!
This is the end / edge intended to butt up against the bolster. It was milled to a 78 deg angle (instead of the 90 from the supplier) to facilitate the wood pattern flowing within the frame lines .. upon final assembly.
Albums: SS-3.0 .. Christmas 2012

Instead of the standard 90 deg angle the slabs had been factory cut to .. I need a 78 deg angle .. to get the grain to lay the way I wish.
The dark growth ring evident on the left 1/3 of this pic curves such that I can fit it parallel w/ the backspine .. if I do this. That's the idea anyway.
It's more evident in the side view .. when I get that far .. I'll post a pic.
