No problem. Sorry, but now im going to hi-jack your thread a little

Has anyone seen this type of wood? (the stuff on the doors) I have seen it on a few tank stands its "quilted" maple, walnut, oak ect does anyone know where you can get this?

Parkinson, you should check out the Black Forest Wood Company. They have all sorts of cool types of wood there. Maybe your next stand could be made from purpleheart? Or a type of ebony? Very nice stuff, can also be very expensive.

Windsor Plywood may have some.

those doors are curly maple its a very nice very hard wood lol i have spun some pens out of it. there is cheaper places than windsor plywood to buy most of those fancy woods if you have the tools to work with it

For block wood there's definetly cheaper places to buy but if you're looking for fancy plywood I wouldn't recommend running it through a planer!
