I ordered my 4A with buck eye burl and mamba shells. I can hardly wait to see a picture of my 4A's when they're done

It's been said before, but all I can say is 8.A = Holy Friggin Wow.

They were soooo worth the wait.

I can safely say that even after only an hour of them being used I am madly in love with them :)

The fit is perfect, look is perfect and most importantly sound is above my expectations. Thanks to all at Heir (especially Brennan) who helped me on my journey of getting them.

Happy to see I'm not the only one who thinks that the 8.A is worth the cost and wait :)

^ They are all exceptional, but I have to say the Wiz gets the chip because of that stunning piece of wood he had to work with - is it even wood? It looks like it could be some sort of polished gemstone...whatever it is, it really pops. To be fair, everybody's build should be the same size in the picture - some of them are set back a bit and I can't see the fine details.

Dr Moulton you forgot to include Salvador Dali, Pancho Villa, Sitting Bull, and Rasputin. I'm curious to see what crazy old Rasputin could come up with.

Thanks for posting an image of Spalted Tamarind. I was the one who asked that. The spalted tamarind in the photo looks actually quite darker than the one on the order form.

Also I've compared it to the ones available on Etsy such as the following:

The above two links seems to have a lighter shade. Could it be that there is a variation of the shades for spalted tamarind or am I expected to receive a dark tint like the one you posted?
