I've had my eyes on this wood for a new pair from Jim.

Jim did a surround set for me recently in Birdseye Goncalo Alves.  Has a nice depth to it, and pictures don't do it justice.

I started with a darker lot than in the link you posted.  Was a little trouble to Jim since the veneer was uneven and a hard wood with little flexibility.  They needed to put the time into planarizing the veneer before applying.



Not involved with blue meth, but instead silicon, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen (SiCOH)...  That said, I never anticipate a storage locker full of cash.  Am equally as happy with my Salks, though.
