The fretboard wood on the far right is called Zebra Wood - not sure if there is another name for it. Yeah, John's furniture is really cool stuff - all custom made mostly for specific settings.

Beautiful, I've not heard of Wenge before. Some very nice (expensive looking!) furniture too - very Art Deco stuff. Quite a talent...

It's Wenge - we have a friend who makes very high end art furniture, and sends us some really beautiful left overs for our fret boards - really beautiful and expensive stuff 

His name is John Arenskov, check it out:   http://www.lustregallery.com/secondary#!__secondary/john-arenskov

Yup, those are amazing. I also like that fretboard wood on the red one, it looks superb. What is it?

A scroll saw and a lot of experience - my partner Ron Larson is a 2 time grammy ward winning graphic artist and a highly skilled cigar box guitar f-hole cutter.  :)

Cheers...
