Okay, so i freeken love the look of honeysuckle wood. And this guy gave me A LOT. like two 100x100x1600mm blocky slabs. ![Headbang :hbang: :hbang:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hbang2.gif)
It may not even be the proper name of the wood but that is what it is written down as by the original supplier, but it looks like the headstock below:

But the pieces i have have slightly larger patterns to the grain making it look almost like leopard print.
Now for the questions i want answered:
1) If this were to become the neck of a guitar is there anything i/the luthier should know about this wood? (its going to be a 9 string btw: (no buildpics or woodpics) http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/lu...s/238316-getting-custom-need-help-design.html)
2) How would it look as a bookmatched top on a guitar, on a scale of one to Wyld Stallyns?![Shred :shred: :shred:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/shredder.gif)
3) Does anyone know if i'd be easy for the luthier to do that two tone stain/dye thing where you would apply one colour to the wood then sand it back and apply another colour to make the grain really pop?
