Crazy Oak!
This amazing oak back belongs to a c. 1910 Lakeside parlor guitar. Make by Lyon and Healy in their Chicago factory, oak is generally interesting to look at but rarely this figured and uniform in grain. It was a nice surprise to uncover it under so many layers of dirt and grime.
Share photos of your guitars made with oak! |

Thanks for sharing that. Oak is a rare bird in the guitar world, and I just always assumed it was to to its lack of “bend-a-bility” in the luthiers shop. Not so sure anymore. We had an oak fall in a storm 15 years ago, and I had it milled. Ought to be ready for the bandsaw by now,,,,

I think that is beautiful! What does the rest of the guitar look like (front)?

There are a few demos of the 35 series, and I think they sound great. https://www.lakewood-guitars.com/gui...od&tb_wood=oak I wonder how much pore filler oak would require.

Johann Brentrup loved using oak for back & sides of his Larson inspired parlors & Grand Concerts. This is the back of the parlor I got from him. Amazing sounding little guitar. I've had it about a year and it's the one that gets played just about every day.

Built myself an oak dread last year - it’s my preferred bluegrass weapon.
I don’t have the pics hosted anywhere, sorry. John Arnold built a fine oak guitar as well. His was the inspiration for mine. |

And then there's "Bog Oak," which Brook Guitars uses. I believe George lowden has built a few as well. It must be more plentiful on the other side of the pond.
