Donald Culross Peattie, A Natural History of Western Trees, 1953
Just arrived, two sets of Engelmann Spruce guitar tops!
I purchased these tops from Simeon Chambers out of Highlands Ranch, Colorado. I have heard good things about the tonewood his sells, so I decided to see that for myself.
Click here for his website and better yet, click here for his eBay store.
The order arrived within three days of placing it. Mr. Chambers did include four pieces of brace wood, enough I think for the transverse bars and fan bracing!
As you can see the wood is gorgeous, Mr. Chambers states that this wood is comes from trees that were killed in a forest fire back in the 1940's.
I want to pair one of these tops with curly hard maple back and sides...oh, so much work to do!
