I'm excited about the possibilities! I attacked that log again today and now have 6 Desert Ironwood fretboard along with wood for bridges, binding and overlays and that was using less than half the log!

I think desert ironwood is the most beautiful possible wood for fretboards. Would be quite something if a big enough piece could be found for back and sides.
Speaking of which, snakewood is outstanding for back and sides. I have a snakewood guitar that is a treasure.

Thanks for commenting Jamiejoon. Both Snakewood and Desert Ironwood are pretty small trees so we don't see many guitar back and sides sets but there are some out there!
