I believe the term was applied to 2 fallen logs harvested by john Arnold as a result of hurricane opal in 1995 which were particularly exceptional - kind of like the adi equivalent of Lucky Strike redwood. Given its tight grain, I was curious if this set was from the second of those logs.

I suspect the top came from the Hampton brothers who harvest, process (with John Arnold) and sell red spruce to luthiers (Matthew can confirm)
