This exclusive Floatlog Bearclaw Sitka Spruce four-pack contains premium bearclaw figured soundboards sourced from salvage-recovered old-growth timber. The package includes four bookmatched sets (eight sequentially cut boards) sized for three Jumbo and one Classical/000 guitar build. Rescued from a rare floatlog purchased in 2000 and recently rediscovered, these AAA-grade tops deliver exceptional acoustic performance with distinctive figure and authentic character.
These soundboards represent truly limited inventory from a forgotten floatlog, offering discerning luthiers rare access to premium Sitka Spruce with outstanding tonal qualities and visual character impossible to replicate with modern timber sources.
This four-pack collection of Floatlog Bearclaw Sitka Spruce represents a truly unique opportunity for discerning luthiers. Sourced from a remarkable salvage find, these premium soundboard sets feature distinctive bearclaw figuring and the exceptional tonal qualities found only in old-growth Sitka Spruce. Each set consists of eight sequentially cut boards forming four bookmatched pairs, with three sets configured for Jumbo guitar patterns and one set suitable for Classical/000 patterns. Originally priced at $125 per set, these boards were recovered from a floating logging camp acquisition made in 2000, representing centuries of natural seasoning and superior acoustic character.
The distinctive character of this Floatlog Bearclaw Sitka Spruce soundboard material stems from its remarkable provenance and natural aging process. Centuries of seasoning within the old-growth timber, combined with the unique bearclaw figure pattern, cultivate wood fibers with an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. This acoustic profile delivers superior projection, an expansive dynamic range, and enhanced resonant properties that bring clarity and depth to your instruments. The tonal richness achieved through salvage-sourced Sitka Spruce far exceeds what younger or plantation-grown alternatives can provide, offering a complexity that develops throughout an instrument’s playing life.
Every soundboard in this collection originates from naturally fallen or salvage-recovered trees, never from clear-cutting operations. This sustainable approach preserves old-growth forests while providing luthiers access to timber with centuries of natural seasoning. Our reclaimed wood sourcing represents the environmental standard in tonewood production, ensuring your instruments are built on materials that honor both acoustic excellence and forest conservation.
With more than 30 years of expertise, Alaska Specialty Woods maintains rigorous structural and aesthetic standards for every soundboard set. Our comprehensive evaluation system assesses not only visual appearance but also critical acoustic factors including grain slope, stiffness, and resonant properties. Professional luthiers worldwide depend on this consistent quality when crafting their finest instruments.
