Curly European Sycamore

Acer pseudoplatanus

This European Maple is native to central Europe and west Asia. It is a tough, white or cream colored, fine-grained timber. It reminds me of vanilla ice cream because it is so even-colored. It works well in any grain direction. It is used for musical instruments, furniture, cabinetry, and because it is non-staining it is used for kitchen utensils, wooden spoons, rolling pins, and cutting boards. The figure is fiddleback on the quartersawn surface and more of a broken curl on the flatsawn surface. Select, quartersawn material is used for violin backs and sides and necks. Dry.

C has a natural edge.

Lebanese Cedar Solid Body Guitar Blank

Cedrus libani

This is one of the true Cedars. There are more than 50 references to Lebanese Cedar in the Bible. Psalms 92:12-"The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a Cedar of Lebanon". Because of its durability the Egyptians used it for making mummy cases. Carvings of Cedar have been unearthed in ancient tombs still in excellent condition. These boards are from a tree grown as an ornamental in England. The wood has a crisp texture and a lovely, aromatic scent that is very long lasting.

The backs of this set have a slight defect near the center of the book match at one end. There is still 21 1/2" of clear set, so it shouldn't interfere with the making the guitar. It is also not very big so could be filled with a mix of Blackwood dust and CA glue with little indication that it was ever there.

It is also not very big so could be filled with a mix of Blackwood dust and CA glue with little indication that it was ever there. This would only be a problem if you want to use the sapwood at the inside of the book match. If you use the other edges as the book match, the small defect shouldn't even come into to play.
