Description Here's a rarity & extra thick "quilted redwood" to be resawn for multiple electric guitar top sets-  This Premium, Private Stock quality, Super Figured Redwood has exceptional figure pattern combination of "muscular tubular & sausage quilt pattern" (not the typical fiddleback or tiger flame) w/ tight annular growth rings (approx. 18 lines per inch), with flecks on the surface!  The deep warm orange to yellow-orange hues along with the excellent figuring & grain pattern is so vibrant & looks electrified when wetted!  Absolutely deep modeling with extra ordinary depth....truly an exceptional curl pattern formation- redwood comes alive when wetted or finished!!!  EXTREME MODELED FIGURING, PREMIUM  CURL W/ EXCELLENT CUT! I've included a "photo example" of a progress guitar build out of my curly redwood, courtesy of my luthier friend Rick of Gecko Guitars-Arizona.  Please note: the curly redwood guitar is not part of this eBay auction, used for visual aid/visual reference only! Approximate dimension: 20+" x 7-1/8" x 2-13/16" thick. Air drying for 3 years (currently @ 7 % mc- it is dry), rough surfaced planed 2 face &  quarter sawn one end/quarter to rift sawn opposite end.  Several planer tear outs/planer pulls on the surface.  There are a cluster of birdseye on one face & at the side edge.  Will require additional surfacing/finishing.  End grains & side edges are sealed with wax.  All images photographed during sunny day- surfaces misted with mineral spirits to show color, grain & figure.  Bidders must confirm & must be responsible for their own calculation on their body template, dimensions & thickness required to their own guitar project w/ the approximate dimensions given above- before you bid, make sure that this curly redwood blank will work for you.
