It's beautiful. The only problem I see is if somebody ran into you, you'd have to kill 'em but then again...... if you showed a photo, the judge might agree with you

Absolutely beautiful!

Shoot, with all the kooks out on the roads, I'd almost be afraid to drive that! The Jatoba Patena's really dark red, almost like a Bombay Mahogany (the dark blood red). I have a plaque with that as a backing and it's DARK. It ought to be interesting to see the colors enrich up as it patena's a little.

What's going on the interior - wood too?
