Can someone please tell me what grade this top is??? - My JP

[Spiral Acid]

I'm not sure if you can see it clearly... I'd like to know. Anyone???

[Rich]

I see some flame, but if you want an opinion a nice CLOSE UP of the top alone would help.

What does the spec sheet say? *:-)

It's a 3A top.

Can we please NOT do wood-grading here. *None of us are professionals at it (except maybe Chris Lange), so nothing will come of it except some BRUTAL bickering.

Thank you.

It doesn't say anything... There's no more spec sheet for this online. Even the COA doesn't state that it's a flame top... I had to figure it out by myself... heh...

My point isn't what it really is by professional standards (If there's such a thing)...

What DOES it look like to you?

Maybe I should get better close up shots for it... but it doesn't really look as good up close...

no grading with LO RES shots please... glen

Kev, I respectfully disagree. While none of us are *qualified* wood graders in a professional sence, I think we've all seen enough flame tops to tell if it looks good (which would be close enough to AAA) or looks sub par (less than AAA). I have seen a few 90th tops that weren't even 1A.

Please think before posting about grading tops.

Thank you.

(*hoping that this doesn't turn out to be a REALLY bad idea*)
