This redwood top archtop plate is carved from a single piece of redwood. The wood used to be a split shake shingle before being resawn into the blank that became this guitar top. The back and sides are from a Walut tree felled in my parents back yard when the tree became a hazzard to the structure. I have a small suppy of this walnut left, some with spalting.

Here is another shot of the Redwood top archtop, prior to the tailpiece installation.  The binding on this guitar is figured Maple, and the fretboard is made of Macassar Ebony.  To see another shot of the lodge pole pine top guitar click HERE.
