This is what you get when your brother-in-law is a finish carpenter and he owes you a favor.
The pictures are the "before", "during" and "after" the replacement of the dash and dash inserts.

Re: Camphor Elm Burl Dash
Now that's my idea of a beautiful dash! Doesn't break with the spirit of the car either. Congratulations.

Re: Camphor Elm Burl Dash
Very nice. Got the finish color just right - did you put any stain on it, or is that the natural color with some clear poly?

Re: Camphor Elm Burl Dash
Thanks, folks! The veener is natural with several coats of lacquer. This darkened the color just so.
Re: Camphor Elm Burl Dash
Does your brother-in-law want to do another one? Maybe he can make some extra money at it. How much do do my dash?

I found the flier for the event on this site. It should be a lot of fun. If the weather holds out, I'll be there. It'd be great to meet you. Tell me how I'd recognize you.

My car is black, with black interior, no rear seat, and has the Paratrooper Fl Tag on it. I will PM you with my cell number.
