Looking for a really wild Walnut top

[tjclem]

I am building my 100th bass and this one is for a repeat customer and he really wants a special Walnut top. 23" long 7 wide it doesn't have to be thick though. Anybody have any advice. I want to see photos before I buy it. Thanks ...tom

do you have the means or connections to resaw it yourself?

if you do, I know of several pieces like this one

all the best,

Wow! That's phenomenal!

That doesn't even look like wood. Can't imagine what that would look like on a bass. Did that get burned or something?

Anyone know where we can get walnut tops in the UK? The only place I know that does mail order is Dave Dykes.

EDIT: Those tops on oregonwildwood.com are amazing - I got in touch with them but shipping to europe will double the price of the tops

That's the reality of living in a country where North American woods are "exotic lumber". It won't be any different anywhere else in the US.

No photoshop needed. The bass came out pretty good.

Wow Tom that's one of the nicest walnut tops I've seen!

Great job Tom, that walnut looks insane.
