I have two Black Walnut sister sets that I call the 1850 wood because it was cut and has been seasoning since before the civil war! Here is one of the sets and a crossover I made from another one of the sister sets:







Finally, if you really want to go nuts. I am very excited about this recent purchase of two billets of extremely figured Claro Walnut. There is one for backs and one for sides. I should be able to get 4 maybe 5 guitars out of these:

Yesterday was a resaw day. I dug into the Claro wood billets I have pictures above and was able to get enough backs and sides to do 5 guitars. Here is one of the back sets to represent what's available. Of course, these are dry and under finish they will go nuts!





These are large enough for any of my models.

Thanks for viewing!
