Description

Unlock superior acoustic performance for your instruments with our flat sawn split face bracewood, sourced from exceptional salvage-recovered old-growth Sitka Spruce. This specialized tonewood delivers the ideal material for luthiers seeking robust and sonically rich guitar bracing solutions. Crafted with the finest tonewood fiber available, flat sawn split face bracewood provides the foundation for instruments with exceptional tonal character and structural integrity.

Our flat sawn split face stock has been precisely cut to allow radius profiling and the creation of multiple vertical grain braces. Unlike typical quarter-sawn bracewood that requires additional processing, this specialized cut optimizes workflow for professional luthiers. The product is sold by 1/2 boardfoot volume, with 0.5 bdft equaling 72 cubic inches (approximately 1″ x 3″ x 23.5″ or equivalent). One-half boardfoot typically provides sufficient material for bracing a single guitar.

Enhanced Resonance for Superior Tone

Crafted from naturally aged old-growth Sitka Spruce, our flat sawn split face bracewood offers unparalleled tonal clarity and projection. The unique grain structure of this tonewood material ensures that every instrument built with it resonates with a rich, balanced voice. Its inherent stiffness-to-weight ratio enhances soundboard vibration, contributing to a vibrant, responsive, and long-sustaining acoustic output. Experience the deep, complex harmonics that only centuries-old timber can provide, elevating your craftsmanship to a new level of sonic excellence in guitar building and other instrument construction.

    We all know that the bracewood is as important, if not more important than the top!
    This is Fantastic Bracewood!!

  2. Noah Lawes (verified owner)

    It’s so much easier to get perfect vertical grain braces with no runout if you’re working with one of these pieces than if you’re using standard quartersawn pieces. Save yourself the headache of trying to figure out where there’s runout!
