I want to try my hand at making an electric guitar, and was wondering if anyone out in LJ land might have a piece of Curly or Quilted maple I could purchase for the top. I am looking for something around 1/2” thick and 14” x 19” size.

thanks

Actually I just checked ebay and searched “Luthier Wood”. There is considerable wood for you to look at.

I have a piece I picked up a couple of months ago in Oregon, not sure if it meets your demensions, definitely 1\2” thick but not sure if the rest if big enough, I will check tomorrow and get back to you.

FC1, my piece of maple is not square, it is 3/4” thick, 18” long, 9” wide at one end and 6” wide at the other end with a live edge. Not the demensions you were looking for but if you want try it, let me know.

Thanks for looking Pat… I think that’s going to be a bit to small for what I need though.

That is an awesome link WoodRat. They have a really awesome selection.

Shoot poroskywood (LJ) a message. I’ve ordered curly maple from him and it’s all been gorgeous.
