Figured Maple Explained by Bob Taylor

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it's a great explanation of figuring in timber. I've been looking for this explained simply for ages.

That was a pretty cool video. Thanks for posting it!

Cool. That was interesting Nick. Thanks.

Oh by the way I have about a million more wood related questions so get busy posting more vids. Please!!

Bob puts some nice videos together. Bob actually plays in many of his videos and he is very comfortable playing with pros.

I have one Taylor. I prefer my Martins. I do thibk it's very cool when Bob talks about his guitars and plays with people. I've never seen Chris Martin playing.

Cool video...Thanks!

Great information. Thanks!

Now I'd like to hear his explanation for Birdseye Maple since its origins seem to arose more controversy.

very cool, and interesting to me since all my old Yamaha Dynamic acoustics feature figured maple.

I was in the middle of making a stupid joke, and I got side tracked by a phone call. I must have hit enter before I finished with my little pun.
