Hey Hal, on the box on the left in the current board photo, what is the wood, what is the stain, what is the face-plate made of. Looks like a burl veneer. Nice looking box. Reminds me of tobacco, but in a good way!

That's curly walnut all around, walnut stain. According to Larry it was his last piece of walnut he had before he retired. Love it. Plays like butter. So smooth and sweet sounding. I could play it all day every day.
