Thinking the same thing! I was looking at the flamed maple, three ply arched backs from Stew Mac - and thinking of using two, one for the back and one for the face. Doing a single cutaway, with bent maple sides, kerfing, etc.

I think it would be easy, make a maple block for the center portion where the neck would set in, and pickups & bridge.

Check them out at the stew mac site...
