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

Jean-Franco and Jerry, you're welcome.

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

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.

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.

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.
