The inside of an UberBUSS.

It might be some kind of astronomy image from a space telescope, but at the size and resolution provided there's no telling what it is.

And these fine pieces of wood will be mounted on the top plate of the next UberBUSS model??

Is it a burl?

It is claro walnut, Mike. My crappy picture doesn't do it justice. It is a much richer brown than shows in the photo. The figure in this billet is really amazing. I call the big piece the angel - as kids we used to lay on our backs and find shapes in clouds. That has hung with me for 60 + years.

Finish on the pair is Tru-Oil.

The two pieces are going on a pair of Ubers for a customer. The big one is a 6 receptacle size.

And I thought I was the only one around here that used Tru-Oil on stereo stuff. I've used it on gun stocks for a very looong time. Easy to work with to get a gloss finish.

I use it on guitars, too. Best oil finish around. Tru-Oil spray is too shiney sometimes. Looks like glass... except for the dust motes that get trapped.
