Looks like quilted Big leaf to me.
Did you buy it?

agree with the big leaf thought...nice looking stuff.
I remember a guy with a southern drawl who worked at “The factory” calling that “Bubble maple” it was very pretty, so is that piece.
Again, did you buy it?

Thanx guys! It’s on hold for me. Most boards are 15/16”x12” wide. Think it would look ok as one pc backs? It’s rather expensive at $4/bdft...
$4 a board foot is cheap for that wood.

Have I played them? These are the only violins I play. They are no more difficult to bow than a standard Stradivari or Guarneri. Yes they were patented. More info on my page about these violins including the patent.
I actually love the tone of these—almost viola-like.

My A-50 has that maple!
This is a c. 1942 A50, Gibson, easily identifiable by headstock. There is no FON or serial number. They were produced and distributed 1942 - 1946. I have had it for over 50 years and I got it from the original owner.
