Thanks for all the comments Guys, most appreciated.
Yes nacluth, this is for the course, and I was just curious to see if it could be done.
Here is some pictures of the guitars produced at the course(Not sure which ones are the Luthiers own built guitars, or which are his students) and I just thought it was such a shame that the beauty of the timber was not able to be shown off on the front of the guitar.
This particular guitar features a Cooba Pine top, hich has a lot of figuring anyway, and is my first choice for a top if I do the course, but it would certainly have a very large visual impact if the beauty of the BHS was shown off on the front.
