Couple 10/4 slabs I stumbled upon last year yielded me this small run of ridiculously beautiful sets. I bought the slabs thinking I'd just get some crotches out of them for a standing order for claro crotch drop tops I have with an electric maker, and realized during the milling process that if I modified the location of a few edges I could maybe get some sweet acoustic plates. So that's how I kept all the crotch shadow and compression figure on the back plates, while keeping the crotch itself on the aforementioned electric plates. These will have a few pin eyes here and there, they are all solid except where noted.....this set has a tiny open void in one of the pin eyes near the center of the backs, will require filler.
