Discover a truly unique and acoustically rich foundation for your next instrument with our exceptional Denim Sitka Spruce flat top sets. Sourced from rare, salvage-recovered old-growth timber, these distinctive blue soundboards are specifically prepared for mandolin, bouzouki, and baritone ukulele builds. Offering unparalleled aesthetic appeal combined with superior tonal properties, this Sitka Spruce tonewood provides luthiers with an extraordinary material to craft instruments that stand out both visually and acoustically.
These tops are produced with the finest tonewood fiber in the world. Procured from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce recovered from a historic floatlog in a remote logging camp region.
After decades floating a house in a remote floating logging camp, the structure was relocated to land and the log float salvaged. These boards were cut from a floatlog in the vicinity of a 12 inch long spike that permeated the surrounding fiber with iron. The result is this oxidized blue board, featuring a distinctive denim hue throughout. Out of thousands of tops cut from these logs, only a few demonstrate the stain across the full length and width of both boards. The wood’s natural sugars have become crystalline with the addition of extra minerals from decades of water and iron exposure. Could this extra metallic element enhance the acoustic properties? The answer awaits your craftsmanship.
Most 2 pc bookset boards are cut 6 inches or wider by 15-16 inches long, though patterns may vary in width and length coverage. These Denim Sitka Spruce tops will pattern as follows per half: Lower bout width 5-5.75 inches, waist 3.25-3.5 inches, upper bout 3.75-3.875 inches by 13-14 inches long, matching standard baritone ukulele pattern dimensions. If your specifications closely match these dimensions, we recommend contacting us before ordering to ensure optimal fit for your build.
The centuries of natural aging undergone by this old-growth timber imbue our Denim Sitka Spruce with exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratios that define superior tonewood characteristics. This property proves crucial for mandolins, bouzoukis, and baritone ukuleles, ensuring enhanced projection, dynamic range, and a rich, complex overtone series. The unique mineral infusion resulting from iron oxidation may further enhance these resonant properties, offering a distinct tonal signature unmatched by typical plantation-grown alternatives. Craft instruments with unparalleled acoustic depth using this remarkable blue Sitka Spruce tonewood, which combines traditional acoustic principles with its unusual mineral composition.
These exceptional Denim Sitka Spruce soundboards are meticulously prepared to meet the demanding standards of professional luthiers:
Every Denim Sitka Spruce soundboard we offer originates from naturally fallen or salvage-recovered trees, never from clear-cutting operations. This sustainable approach to sourcing tonewood preserves vital old-growth forests while providing luthiers access to timber with centuries of natural seasoning. Our commitment to environmentally responsible sourcing means that choosing our reclaimed Sitka Spruce tonewoods, including this stunning blue option, represents the environmental standard in responsible tonewood production. This practice ensures future generations have access to quality old-growth timber resources.
Our extensive experience ensures that each Denim Sitka Spruce set meets rigorous structural and aesthetic standards. We employ a comprehensive grading system that meticulously evaluates not just the unique visual appearance of this blue Sitka Spruce tonewood, but also critical factors such as grain slope, inherent stiffness, and overall resonant properties. Professional luthiers worldwide consistently rely on the proven quality and durability of our tonewoods for their finest acoustic instruments. The combination of old-growth characteristics and distinctive mineral composition makes this Sitka Spruce particularly valuable for builders seeking both visual distinction and acoustic excellence.
