Thanks Tim! Now I have to escape for a couple of days from work to pick it up as I know that I won't be able to wait until after the holidays.

If I ever buy another Smith, it will be Quilted Maple top and probably Walnut Core. Either Walnut or Mahogany.

Thumbs up That's Nice!!!

Nick that Avodire Top is great looking! I was actually looking at the wood for my second Smith but have decided to go with Ebony Top 6FEG!
Post some pics once you get it...

Good luck!

Avodire' with figure like this is quite rare. Usually, if the log is figured it is sold off for Veneer at a higher price than if sold for lumber. To find actual wood/lumber with figure in the Avodire' is not easy to find. We've had only a few pieces that were highly figured. The rest of the load was medium figured or just ribbon grain.
