Shane at High Mountain knows his stuff, and there is no doubt that the Lutz he has sold me is definitely different from any Sitka or Englemann in my stash,,
As far as I know there is a very finite supply of Lutz, as it appears to be a hybrid that only occurs in a limited geographical region... appearantly the timber companies dont hold the species in as high regard (as we do) and harvest it freely for pulp and paper... Im sure more ppl have wiped thier butts with lutz than luthiers will ever build with it.. sadly.
Im hoping there is (or will be) some concerted effort in collecting and preserving premium Lutz genetics, talk about a surefire way to ensure future generations to enjoy building with it - in about 500 years.... agreed its a longsighted business plan.... lol
Cheers
Charlie
