Bookmatched (unglued) Arizona eucalyptus burl top. This one is rich. Dense pin burl in the lower half fades into swirling, dramatic figure up top — and that warm golden amber center is something else under light. A few small voids along the bottom edge, easy resin fills. Clean overall, great bookmatch symmetry. End-cap cut, so movement possible with humidity: but it’spretty much flat. Glue it down and you're done. Priced at roughly half of comparable burl tops on the market. Locally sourced from a rescued Arizona tree that had to come down.

Arizona eucalyptus bookmatched (unglued) burl top. Scope it: a network of worm tunnels so extensive and dramatic they look intentional. They're not decoration — they're the real thing, carved by nature, and they're begging for resin. Clear, tinted, glow-in-the-dark — whatever you pour in there becomes part of the instrument's story. The solid burl wood surrounding the voids is gorgeous in its own right, with warm amber and brown tones and great figure. Do you see Bevis and Butthead? Many bookmatching orientations to consider — see pics. Locally sourced from a rescued Arizona tree that had to come down. We saved the good parts.

Arizona Eucalyptus burl — three pieces, same thickness, sold as a set. The two main halves are long but narrow in spots, so a standard guitar template won't just drop on. That's where the third piece comes in. Some resin work, some puzzle piecing, and you've got a top that nobody else has. The burl figure is excellent throughout — swirling grain, pin burl, warm golden tones. The kind of wood that rewards a creative builder. Not a drop-in solution, but the price reflects that. Locally sourced from a rescued Arizona tree that had to come down.

Bookmatched (unglued) Arizona Eucalyptus burl top. This set came from the end cap of a large log — that's where you get this kind of wild, swirling mix of burl eyes, flowing grain, and dramatic figure. Deep amber, copper, warm brown — all natural. The cracks running through the lower center are resin opportunities; fill them and they become a feature. Multiple glue-up orientations work here — see pics. Fair warning: end-cap cuts can have some movement to them. Pretty much flat as-is, but can move with humidity. Once glued to a body, you're set.

Not for the faint of heart. This glued-up Oregon maple top wears its character openly — a dense cluster of tight pin knots dominates the upper half, mirrored across the centerline into a bold, symmetrical pattern that's more statement than flaw. Some subtle curl catches the light across the lower portion, and natural staining adds tonal variation to the cream-white base. If your builds lean toward raw, unfiltered wood character over pristine figure, this top delivers something genuinely hard to find. And the price is right.

Oh, what the hell, right? We didn't want this piece of claro to not have a guitar/bass opportunity. It's triple-bookmatched, gnarly, resin filled knots, and straight up bizarre. But that's what makes a one-of-a-kind instrument! Nice prize for this unusual diddy!

Gnarly alert! ok, these Arizona-grown Indian rosewood top halves probably came from the same slab, but are not truly bookmatched (from opposite halves of a resaw). But they kinda go together, so why not? and the price is right. There are some cracks to deal with (easy peasy w/ resin). But, what you get is totally unique. A little gnarly (knots), but whoa nelly, totally cool. Locally grown!

Gnarly alert! This Arizona-grown Indian rosewood bookmatched (unglued) top really pops! But there are knots, and some cracks. All are easy enough to deal with, or depending on the size of your top, avoidable. But wow, this one is special in the contrast in the grain. It's like someone photoshopped it and turned up contrast! We didn't, by the way. The right price for a one of a kind top for a one of a kind guitar or bass! Locally grown!

Gnarly alert! Gnarly alert! This California claro walnut (bookmatched, unglued) is unhinged rustic craziness if you bookmatch on the crunchy knot (do it! do it!). There was some resin filling (look closely) to strengthen those areas a bit. But wow. Alternatively, you can bookmatch to avoid it. Stunning grain. And opportunity for 10 out of 10 on the gnarliness scale. This is from a rescued downed tree from a friend in California. Please show us the photo of the amazing ax you create with this! Priced to move.

Gnarly alert! Or... BEAUTY ALERT. A local Arizona eucalyptus burl wood (from the cap of a burl). Let us explain: The piece was an odd shape, but we got a couple good cuts out of it. This bookmatched (unglued) set comes with a 3rd piece leftover from the resawing, and 3 smaller pieces (no extra cost). At 14.75 inches (see pics) the boards taper down to about 3.75 inches wide. But you might be able to work around that. Orrrrrr, you can use the extra cutoff pieces (they're around 0.3 inches thick) to mosaic a patch. The spare cutoffs are about 8.5 inches in length, and can also be used for headstock veneer. With some creativity, this amazing eucalyptus burl (which is rare) will make a stunning one of a kind instrument. Like, REALLY!
