Live Auction 4: 30 pm Pacific
Auctions have moved to Saturday 10 AM and Friday 4:30 PM Pacific time We go all day and into the night So drop in. Enter Auction with the live chat link above on the forum header. SEE COMPLETE LIST OF OFFERING IN THREAD TO YOUR RIGHT. Enter the chatroom on the forum header or at http:tonewoodauctions.com Every one of our logs has a name. So we can assure our clients that we can supply the specific numbers listed below. Once you find a log that works well for you. You can order from the same tree giving you better chance to duplicate your results. Brian Burns Testing Results on Our Spruce Spruce that has been Cooked has a 21% higher Q after cooking on average. These are uncooked numbers. And Still they are stiffer than most Spruce even Adirondack and Italian Alpine. He says by feel ( which luthiers love to use) its a big difference, Cooking Adds 21% Higher Q Cook at 200 for 2 hours PUT WIEGHT ON THE TOPS wait a week and recook AT 200 as many times as you feel you need to get that bone dry feel and clear bell tone ring. Let settle and add strings DONT TRY TO COOK BILLETS, Archtops or other large form wood stock . I am talking spruce here not hard wood. Brian has been testing our wood and below are the the results of the testing he has done over the 4 to 5 years. These logs are all Lutz spruce. Most Spruce sold by other vendors for this area are Sitka. So don't be fooled buy from sprucetonewood.com for true Lutz or you are buying only Sitka. See the harvesting thread below for University Of British Columbia Forestry Maps. regards All rights reserved 2004 to 2009 © Curlybear tree log 2 Parallel E 1.77 E par / Sp.Gr. 4.66 Density per cubic ft. 23.8 Specific Gravity .38 Ratio of E par: E perp 16:1 Total Stiffness to Density ratio = .512 The QE/D index an overall quality index Q avg.
