Elevate your mandolin builds with our AAA Quilt Carved Top Mandolin Fronts, crafted from exceptional Sitka Spruce that delivers superior tonal clarity and stunning visual appeal. These exquisite tonewood sets provide the perfect foundation for instruments demanding outstanding acoustic performance and distinctive aesthetics, making them ideal for any high-quality mandolin build. Sourced entirely from old-growth timber, our AAA Quilt Carved Top soundboards represent centuries of natural seasoning combined with modern luthier specifications.
Produced from the finest old-growth Sitka Spruce timber in the world, salvage-sourced to ensure sustainability and exceptional quality without clear-cutting operations.
The wedge-cut mandolin fronts are 2-piece booksets with 2 boards measuring 16-18″ long x 6 inches wide x approximately 1″ joining edge thickness, tapering to about 5/16″ at the 6-inch width. Wedge-cut construction means the billets are already positioned closer to the finished carved top profile, resulting in enhanced symmetry when fully carved and finished, with reduced likelihood of encountering internal defects such as unseen pitch pockets.
Our AAA Quilt Carved Top sets are derived from centuries-old, slow-growth timber, ensuring an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio that defines high-quality carved top mandolins. This natural aging process imbues the wood with profoundly enhanced resonant properties, delivering superior projection, extended sustain, and a rich, complex tonal palette for your instrument. Experience the acoustic difference that genuinely aged Sitka Spruce brings to mandolin construction, offering tonal depth and clarity unmatched by younger, plantation-grown alternatives.
Every soundboard 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 tonewood represents the environmental gold standard in soundboard production, combining acoustic excellence with environmental stewardship.
Alaska Specialty Woods’ 30+ years of expertise ensures each set meets rigorous structural and aesthetic standards. Our comprehensive grading system evaluates not just visual appearance, but critical factors including grain slope, stiffness, and resonant properties essential to carved top performance. Professional luthiers worldwide rely on our consistent quality for their finest mandolin instruments.
