might be hard to carve with the grains going all directions!

I don't think woodknomb is going to do anything with it, he wants to sell it.

I got a couple pieces of that I'm saving for someday when I feel like I'm not frustrated enough ! :P :-/

Seen a couple of pieces of curly basswood at WoodCrafters in Tusla a couple of months back but they were over priced on their basswood. Did pick up a nice piece of tupelo and butternut. Still over priced.

No actually I was wondering if there was a difference between the two? BUT LOL if you want I will sell it LOL. To tell you the truth between ebay and reselling to other companys. I dont have much time to do special request or sales. I ususally resell #2 carving stock or some that are shy of a even dimesion or that are not s4s , but closer to s2s or even rough. Saves me time and the others cash as well. I have think it would be kind of hard to carve with the directions of the grain and all. I thought it was kind of neat looking. If i had a 14' and about 14' long it wuld make a good guitar blank.
