Discover the pinnacle of tonewood craftsmanship with our Master Grade Sitka Ukulele sets. Sourced exclusively from salvage-recovered old-growth Sitka Spruce, these soundboard tops are engineered for luthiers who demand unparalleled acoustic performance and aesthetic refinement. Crafted from the finest Sitka spruce tonewood available, each Master Grade Sitka Ukulele set represents centuries of natural maturation, ensuring instruments that resonate with exceptional tonal character and visual beauty.
These soundboard tops exemplify the finest tonewood fiber crafted today. Procured from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce, they display characteristics that distinguish professional-grade materials: fine straight grain, even color, and strong medullary rays that optimize acoustic response.
Ukulele-Tenor sets feature 2-piece bookset configurations. Most boards are cut approximately 5″ x 14″, with patterning dimensions (per half) of lower bout 4.5″, waist 3″, and upper bout 3.375″ x 12.25 inches long—the standard tenor ukulele template. For custom dimensions or specific requirements, contact us before ordering to ensure optimal fit for your build specifications.
The exceptional acoustic properties of Master Grade Sitka Ukulele tonewood stem from centuries of natural aging within old-growth timber. This extended maturation develops wood fiber with an outstanding stiffness-to-weight ratio, translating into superior sustain, vibrant projection, and rich, complex overtones essential for professional-grade instrument construction. The spruce soundboard delivers unparalleled tonal clarity and dynamic range that experienced luthiers recognize as the hallmark of exceptional ukulele voice.
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 Sitka spruce tonewood with centuries of natural seasoning and maturation. Our reclaimed wood sourcing represents the environmental standard in acoustic material production, combining ecological responsibility with acoustic excellence.
Alaska Specialty Woods’ 30+ years of expertise ensures each Master Grade Sitka Ukulele set meets rigorous structural and acoustic standards. Our comprehensive grading evaluation assesses not merely visual characteristics, but critical factors including grain slope, fiber stiffness, and resonant properties that define tonewood performance. Professional luthiers worldwide specify our consistently graded soundboard materials for their finest ukulele constructions, relying on the reliability that comes from decades of specialization in old-growth Sitka Spruce tonewood sourcing and preparation.

I can’t believe this was only $18. The grain in super tight. The medullary rays make the pattern very interesting and the top tone is wonderful.
