Yeap seen them and the price tag to match makes them out of the average budget. Like I said for the MOST part fixtures don't offer such options.

I think you would get a similar/better effect if you used copper sheet metal instead, you can dent it up randomly to create that rippled effect. IMO that quilted maple or whatever just looks like the...
