Other venues will be tapped as days pass.
I just posted 2 listings of dual figured sitka gtr tops in our store
https://alaskawoods.com/product/aaa-qui ... law-dread/
and
https://alaskawoods.com/product/premium ... jumbo-gtr/
I will need to add video to these listings, since still pictures really don't capture the chatoyance, the visual depth of the sanded boards without flashing them under light.
Then the added bearclaw to boot.. quite visually stunning!

Also coming soon is a bunch of denim sitka tops from a couple float logs we just dissected. There was a lot of cutting, for not much product from the large diameter high defect logs. there was breakage, rot, toredo holes, toredo holes made larger by gribble[another saltwater mollusk], and serious heart check and ring shake.
Ryan has cut on this cart load for 5 days and with good wood, would have 500 sets stickered in the dryroom. But there's only 300. He's not a happy camper.

Anyway, thats's some news from Port Saint Nicholas on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska

I told ryan to try and get a couple archtop guitar fronts form those 2 denim bonus block heart chunk wedges.
