Crazy find that I thought I'd share.

As a few of you may know, I posted a thread on about a bunch of poplar wood that I found at work in a scrap pile. Well when I did I guess I picked up something that looked kinda rough and didn't look so great so I was going to use it as fire wood and I'm glad I didn't. My wife bought me a 12-1/2" thickness planer for our anniversary and I decided to try it out on some scrap to get a feel for the tool and when I did I discovered that I had a really highly figured piece of maple. It's just too bad that I can't use it for a neck cause it looks nice.
