Super fiddleback figured walnut tonewood guitar luthier set back sides

  

100+ guitar sets in stock, please check my other listings. Very tightly fiddleback curled, eastern black walnut guitar set, Backs irregularly shaped, 8 wide, at lower bout, 23 long, sanded to approximately 0.175 thick Sides, 32 long, 6+ to 4.5 wide sanded to approximately. The backs and sides were cut from same plank, with sides up above the backs near the tree stump. This is not from some of my older lumber, but rather a newer piece that was well quartered I acquired, I know this was commercially dried about 16 months ago. The fiddleback here is very tight, deep, beautiful.

Very beautiful, I suppose there are pieces of koa or mango that have this deep, tight curl. Perhaps the occasional maple, but this is american black walnut, juglans nigra.

The edges have not been jointed, a few saw marks still present. I have left them as large as possible.
