Redwood and Walnut is such a great combo. Plenty loud, but dark, rich and warm too. I think the Redwood gives it a little more dry snap than Cedar does. As I play #910, the whole thing jumps around in my lap, vibrating with each note. I am really pleased with it. The Redwood is salvaged from a boat shop in Tacoma. The Curly Walnut is from southern Oregon and the Pistachio is from California orchards, both via woodfromthewest.com. The neck is Sapele, salvaged from a beam. A wider nut and a leaf inlay give it some personality. I have more Redwood and Walnut that matches, drop me a line if you would like to order an instrument like this.
