Sinker redwood, sequoia sempervirens, acoustic guitar top. Theses tops come from a log that was recovered from a bog where it had been since the mid 20th century, and was pulled out in 2021. Its called the Bog Log and these are the Rusty Salmon tops produced from it. But only a small handfull of the blocks from this log had the kind of streaking typically associated with sinker. Sinker doesn't have to mean streaky. These are flaming hot, dark, and the streaks can be slightly assymetrical. There is plenty of silk and other ribbony stuff going on too! All my redwood tops come from twice hand split old growth blocks that have been double culled. This means that they are hand selected as blocks at the source and then hand selected by me at the time I load them. Then I further hand split them down to manageable on-quarter splits that are milled into top plates, which are stacked and stickered for air drying here in the high desert. You can always contact me for more pics of any particular set.
