SALVAGED HIGH GRADE OLD GROWTH HIGH ELEVATION WESTERN RED CEDAR BOOKMATCHED SET FOR ARCHTOP. AAAA

The wood was salvaged on the archipelago of Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. It was salvaged in the Moresby island area behind Cumshewa, an old Haida First nation settlement. It had been logged during WW2; they were harvesting Sitka spruce to build the Mosquito bomber aircraft. Since they were only interested in the spruce, some of the red cedar trees that were cut were left behind. Those trees we harvested were completely covered in moss. The high elevation cedar was harvested up higher on the mountain as usual, where we would normally find yellow cedar. 

The wood is very light in weight and colour, with tighter grain. The feedback we got from the luthiers who used it was that it "sounded" more than regular red cedar but they couldn't explain why.
