I have had one of his tables for 10 years and they are very solid tables. It's a 6 legged mission. I went over to his house in the hollywood district and I think he is still around.

Thanks for the reply. I also make custom knives, so I can put it to use that way. I got this from gilmer woods in portland OR and their stock of fiddleback is very low, any suggestions where I can get a nice piece (1 1/2 x1 1/2 x 18)?

I aquired some beautiful tight flamed fiddleback maple that I thought could use for a 4 point forarm. Unfortunately it doesn't have tight grains, so you might call this a soft maple. Does anyone have any experience using soft maple for forarms? Any comments would be helpfull.
