I'm in the great tar heel state of North Carolina, USA!!
 
Actually, this is not the first they've done.  If you go to the Alembic Store, towards the end of the page there's a custom SC in BB too...it will be very similar to that one...

It's a pretty typical color of slightly greenish blue stain. I don't bother with color correction on the FTC threads, a girl's gotta sleep sometime  
 
Here's a couple of new shots:
 
 
Logo inlaid, and ready to go back to finish for the last few coats.  
 
 
As nice as it looks, standard disclaimer of it always looks even nicer in person.

The abundance of red in this buckeye burl is brought out nicely by the pinstripe color...extraordinary!  It looks like lots of galaxies floating amongst interstellar gas clouds.  A space bass, yes yes yes...
Dave, how 'bout playing the opening line to Dark Star when you first get this, you know, to see if it works?  ;-)

Foth,
 
Checked out the Orion Nebula lately??
 
I'll have to look at the score, but yes...I'll do it and upload the mpeg or wav.

I guess since you're fairly new around here, you may not have noticed that this site is inhabited by a healthy contingent of Deadheads and that the history of Alembic is substantially entwined with that of the Grateful Dead.  If you are not familiar with Dark Star, may I recommend my favorite version which is found on Live Dead which, IMHO, is the recording that most closely recreates the live experience.

Bill,
 
That's what I thought, but I thought I would ask!

hi david
 
the 'live dead' version of dark star is of course a revered classic in the deadhead community.  but this is, after all, the alembic club, so i have an alternate suggestion.  imho the commercially-released version of dark star that offers the most quintessentially alembic sound is on the 'closing of winterland' cd.  the filters on phil lesh's bass were set especially nicely for that performance

Looks like peacock feathers in the burl to me.  Very pretty.

Hmmm...you're right Dave, a striking resemblance to the Orion Nebula.  http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/archive/releases/1995/45/
