I have an order for a flame maple/Birdseye pen to match a custom built bass guitar. The guitar is outstanding! This blank needs to exhibition grade! Any idea where I could get such a top of the line one of a kind blank?

George, I wish I could but it belongs to a performer in another state and the pen is a surprise gift from the customer. The body is flame maple and the neck is bird's eye maple. I saw the guitar in person and it is outstanding!

Not sure exactly what your flame Maple is. I worked in a hardwood mill and saw a lot of Maple -- Birdseye, Curly (Fiddleback, Tiger) and Quilted. We had Birch with a 'flame' figure but never was anything like that in Maple. As someone mentioned it could always be crotch figure which grain can go all over.

According to Google

Flame maple
Flame maple (tiger maple), also known as flamed maple, curly maple, ripple maple, fiddleback or tiger stripe, is a feature of maple in which the growth of the wood fibers is distorted in an undulating chatoyant pattern, producing wavy lines known as "flames".

Hi Freddie,
Would you be interested in a blank out of this maple piece?
Thanks
Ed

Ed, that is beautiful wood! However, I found some blanks this afternoon. I will know more when I actually receive them to see if they are indeed the quality I want. Grateful for your offer.
