[Material] Bubinga (wood)

[Dave R]

Dale, you're the first person ever to tell me I have a nice figure.

[dale]

Someone must, because mine has sure deteriorated

[dale]

Are you doing these yourself Dave? (no more figure comments ..Honest)

[Dave R]

Dale, they're from images I've collected. They are raw wood and might stand a little more fine tuning

Hell, I'll just run them through my thickness sander

[Dave R]

That'll do it. I guarantee they are free of nails so you could even plane them and not worry about knicking your knives.

Nice textures Dave !
Thanks for sharing

Thank You Dave, I haven't been on for awhile. I'm designing a router table in SU now. I haven't used materials before but will experiment and see what I can do. Jerry

[Dave R]

Jean-Franco and Jerry, you're welcome.

Jerry, good to see you're around. I'll be interested to see your router table.

Dave

I had a look. Nice guitars. Are there any reasonably sized material images? I could only find little tiny images that would tile badly if used in SketchUp.

[nrevk niatpak]

if you scroll down to the laminate top you have a choice of different wood species and by clicking on the guitar body shape it opens a new window ( around 600*875 / jpeg...pretty decent for most renders...
about the tiling... it's usually a bookmatched top so it's not made for tileable wood patterns but rather for fine cabinetry or stuff like that...

Thanks for that. Those images are too short for the work I do but maybe someone would like them. Good link.

[Dave R]

Here are three long Zebrawood (Zebrano or Microberlinia) textures. The first is 9' 6" long. the other two are 8' long. Enjoy.

Well, all I can say is that you must have low standards if you think my figure looks nice.

So here are a few Wenge materials. Both 8-1/2 feet long.

I have several longer ones but they're more than 1600 pixels and not uploadable here.
