Caucasian Walnut, Western size, 2010

Caucasian Walnut can yield a burl figure that is highly sought after for veneering furniture, botanically from the same family (Junglandaceae) as Claro or Black Walnut, but being a separate species (Pterocarya fraxinifolia) that is native to the Caucasian region and is usually not being processed into tonewoods.

Here up for sale is a Jumbo sized set that is quartercut, nice contrast figure. slightly sanded (therefore some sawing marks are visible), a rare find.

This set has a small issue: there is a small crack at the left side near the joining seam (see last pic): this can be repaired (glued) easily, resulting finally in a non-visible issue if used for a large steel string body. If you want to use this set for an Classical/OM sized guitar the crack will be outside the template (if the template is placed to the top of the set, as shown on the left side).

Because of this issue this set is dramatically discounted from 145 Euro to 95 Euro.
