Default Figured maple for woodie

Ron Heiden sent me a shot of the actual fiddleback maple veneer
that is going on my 41 woodie in the panels, nice! This beautiful fiddleback is way less expensive than birdseye maple.

Tex, I used fiddleback Sapele, sometimes called Sapele Mahogany for the panels on my '46. It really is beautiful, but when you get the varnish on, it really makes the pattern stand out. Keep up with the pictures!

I'm gonna message the moderators that you are posting pure Ford pornography!

Seeing those amazing front doors reminds me of why I chose to build a 40 ish body for my truck. This Ron Heiden guy is for real.
