Now that Tulip Poplar is something special. Never heard of that! At first glance, I thought it was grafted walnut. Love it!

Tulip poplar was used on the Liberty Tree Guitars...
to me, tulip poplar can sometimes resemble imbuia a bit (or the other way around)

perhaps mixed with a little ovangkol

I need to get a pic of my T-5.  It's got some of the best looking cocobolo with sapwood I've ever seen!
