come to find out it's mahogany. just cut the wrong way from the board stock.
looks pissa with clearcoat. i made another one gave it to mac that was a little bigger. the grain is beautiful seems to go all the way round the plug.
if you make them too small there weak and you can snap them like a twig.
i made some neeldels from it too cut the other way and there pretty kool but not as pretty.

this one was like a foot long

You want to be careful. They could all snap on ya eventually if they're cut the wrong way...

Good job though!!

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
