The top is from a tree at my parents house I used to play in when I was a kid. The tree broke in a storm last July, and I wanted to do something meaningful with it. I think Keith and co. did a great job with it.

That is just about the coolest back story I've ever heard. :) Congrats on a wonderful bass of sentimental value.
