Description
Ancient Quilted Redwood Set 189
4.1mm thick Bookmatched Set, perfect for electric guitar and bass making. Please see pictures to see other dimensions along the left and bottom of the dimension board.
These tops are incredible, and very very special (read below to find out why!).
Amazing quilted figure and lovely colour, stunning swirling grain patterns on these couple of sets!
Now for the history! The slabs that yielded these tops were cut from a salvaged tree that naturally fell roughly 120 years ago. This tree was one of the true giants of the Californian coast, and estimated to be 2500-3000 years old!
These tops will make some truly fantastic and unique looking instruments! As these sets were taken from one of the true giants of the Californian Redwoods, the grain is very dense and close together – its next to impossible to count the growth rings without a magnifying glass! So unlike young redwood timber that can be a little soft due to the wide grain, these ancient sets are good and stiff. Perfect for instrument making!
Dimensions in the images (see set pictured against measurement board) thickness found written on the label bottom right of the set. If you require further information then please get in touch. Pictured both natural and sprayed with Naphtha to help show true colour and grain patterns.
