Cedar and Walnut is a classic combination for us, but the endless variety keeps it fresh. The Walnut for this is from a stump I got from Zena forest products in Salem and milled into parts. It is curly, multi colored and has an asymmetrical inclusion that I love. I chose other parts that referenced that mark, including the streak in the neck blank, the grafted headplate and the unique fretboard. I also chose to accent everything with bright Maple as a nice contrast. The Cedar top is salvaged from wall panels. The Pistachio fretboard/headplate/bridge is from California orchards. The Douglas Fir neck is salvaged from the rebuilding center.
