Discover the unparalleled beauty and unique sonic potential of our Denim Sitka Spruce Tenor Ukulele top. Crafted from rare, salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce floatlogs, these exceptional soundboard tops offer luthiers a truly distinctive material for their finest instrument creations. Each piece tells a story, imbued with a striking blue hue from decades of immersion and interaction with natural minerals, promising an instrument not just heard, but deeply felt.
These tops are produced with the finest tonewood fiber in the world. Procured from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce, each set delivers exceptional acoustic properties alongside visual distinction.
After decades floating as part of 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. Out of thousands of tops cut from these logs, only a few display the stain for the full length and width of both boards. The wood’s natural sugars have become crystalline with extra mineral content added through this unique weathering process. Could this extra metallic element enhance the sonic characteristics? The answer lies with your craftsmanship as a luthier.
For tenor ukulele construction, most two-piece bookset boards are cut 5 inches by 14 inches, though pattern coverage may vary. These Sitka Spruce tenor ukulele tops will pattern per half as follows: Lower bout 4.5 inches, waist 3 inches, upper bout 3.375 inches by 12.25 inches long, which represents the standard tenor ukulele pattern. If your measurements approach these dimensions, we recommend contacting us before ordering to discuss your specific requirements.
Experience exceptional sound resonance with our carefully selected Sitka Spruce tenor ukulele tops, designed for luthiers and instrument makers who demand the finest quality materials. These soundboards deliver rich, balanced acoustics with superior projection and crystal-clear tonal characteristics, perfectly suited for the vibrant voice of a tenor ukulele. The old-growth spruce wood delivers the responsive tonal qualities serious instrument builders expect.
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 wood soundboards represent the environmental gold standard in tonewood sourcing and production.

Great service. I asked for a couple tops with slightly less stain to better match my myrtle backs and sides and I got exactly what I asked for. The tap tone is crisp and resonant. I am excited to build with it.
