Elevate your craftsmanship with these exceptional Premium Bearclaw Sitka Spruce booksets, specifically selected for flat top mandolins, bouzoukis, baritone ukuleles, and small body tenor guitars. This figured soundboard wood is revered for its striking bearclaw figuring and superior acoustic properties, offering a visual masterpiece combined with unparalleled sound quality. Handpicked by luthiers worldwide, bearclaw Sitka Spruce represents an ideal choice for discerning craftspeople seeking tonewood with both aesthetic excellence and exceptional tonal characteristics.
Most 2-piece bookset boards are cut 6″ wide by 15-16″ long, with potential patterning dimensions per half including lower bout width 5-5.75″, waist 3.25-3.5″, and upper bout 3.75-3.875″ x 13-14″ long. These dimensions align with standard flat top mandolin and baritone ukulele patterns. For custom applications, we recommend contacting us before ordering to confirm your specific measurements and instrument specifications.
The distinctive bearclaw figuring on this tonewood is not merely visually captivating; it serves as a natural indicator of exceptional stiffness and resonance characteristics. This sought-after pattern contributes to a superior stiffness-to-weight ratio, ensuring your flat top instruments deliver outstanding projection, dynamic range, and rich, clear overtones. The aged Sitka Spruce soundboard wood used in our products provides a unique acoustic signature, offering tonal depth and complexity that standard tonewoods cannot match. Experience how naturally aged, highly figured Sitka Spruce responds with superior harmonic complexity and sustain.
Every soundboard in our collection, including our Premium Bearclaw Sitka Spruce tops, originates from naturally fallen or salvage-recovered trees, never from clear-cutting operations. This sustainable approach preserves vital old-growth forests while providing luthiers access to tonewood with centuries of natural seasoning. Our EarthTone Soundboards™ represent the environmental gold standard in tonewood sourcing, ensuring you receive both exceptional quality and environmental responsibility. When you select reclaimed Sitka Spruce, you’re investing in instruments built from responsibly harvested materials with proven acoustic character.
