Cocobolo B&S, Sinker Redwood top
Masterpiece !!
Sinker wood

About Sinker logs (image) like the ones above are pulled from the bottom of lakes and rivers. Most of these logs are hundreds of years old (the picture in the middle above shows that the tree was cut with an hatchet). Due to a series of factors (The logs were too big and heavy to be pulled out of the rivers or the logs were caught by currents and were sucked to the bottom) these logs were trapped by the muddy buttons of these water beds and this created like a time capsule where the wood was preserved in fantastic humidity conditions that made the wood season in a slow natural way during many centuries. Some of the logs are selected for musical instruments construction. The sound that these woods produce is unique and the grain has a beautiful coloration that matches all types of woods for the back and sides. The tree from which this top was extraced, was cut down around the time when America was struggling for her independence from the English ! Needless to say, this master grade sinker redwood was VERY expensive.
