Description: IF YOU WATCHERS THINK I SHOULD CUT AND MILL INTO PRE CUT TOPS, PLANED AND BOOKMATCHED. LET ME KNOW. MOST OF THE PIECES ARE A BIT ROUGH BUT, THE GRAIN IS BEAUTIFUL AND 5A. THIS IS FROM MY PRIVATE STASH OF GUITAR LUMBER. I HAVE HAD THIS LUMBER FOR 35 YEARS. I GOT IT FROM A FRIEND WHO LIVES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. A 30 FOOT LONG REDWOOD TREE TRUNK HAD BEEN SITTING IN HIS GRANDFATHER'S BARN FOR OVER 100 YEARS. MY FRIEND WHO INHERITED THE SMALL FARM WAS GOING TO TEAR THE DILAPIDATED BARN DOWN AND BURN THE LOG!!!! I TOLD HIM THIS LOG WAS AROUND 2000-3000 YEARS OLD AND WORTH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. AS A RESULT HE HAD IT MILLED AND SOLD THE WOOD TO SEVERAL GUITAR BUILDERS FOR CLOSE TO 40,000.00 DOLLARS. HE GAVE ME ABOUT 25 BOARDS. THIS IS WHATS LEFT. I HAVE RETIRED FROM GUITAR BUILDING NOW AT 73 YEARS OLD AND WANT THIS WOOD TO GO TO ANOTHER LUTHIER. LOOK AT PICTURES. A FEW PICS DONT SHOW THE GRAIN AS WELL BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY SKIP PLANED. THIS WOOD IS EXTREMELY LIGHT AND HAS UNGODLY TONE WHEN TAPPED. THERE ARE 7 BOARDS. HERE ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF EACH BOARD. YOU CAN GET BETWEEN 12-15 GUITAR TOPS (DROP TOP) OUT OF THIS BATCH. THAT MAKES THEM ROUGHLY 60.00 PER TOP!!!!! LOOK AT THE PRICE OF OTHER REDWOOD TOPS HERE ON EBAY WAY MORE MONEY. SAVE A BUNDLE AND BUY IN BULK. 1. 6.75" W X 42" LONG X 3/4" THICK2. 6"W X 44.75" LONG X 3/4" THICK3. 8" W X 52.50" LONG X 3/4" THICK4. 6" W X 48" LONG X 3/4" THICK5. 8"-6.5" W X 34 7/8" LONG X 3/4" THICK6. 6.75" W X 38.5" LONG X 3/4" THICK7. 8"-7" W X 35.5" LONG BY 3/4" THICK THESE BOARDS WILL MAKE QUITE A FEW INCREDIBLE GUITAR TOPS.
