The use of maple provides a high stiffness to weight ratio, which makes an exceptional material for use in creating a neck that can withstand a considerable range of string tensions.
Since most lumber has a natural tendency to undergo dimensional changes in different environments, the process of torrefaction (also known as thermal modification or roasting) significantly reduces its sensitivity to different temperatures and humidity levels. By roasting a neck blank, one can expect to have long-term dimensional stability when compared to other conventional methods.
these are the best neck blanks that I have found. Much nicer than anything I have found anywhere else on the internet.
Always the best products, always the best service.
Looks great w/ pretty even & deep chatoyance & a dark roast. Quatersaw looks spot on & no warp/bend to the blank too. It'll be a bit before I get to try the the neck this blank will make, but I'm super happy w/ the lumber, shipping speed, & packing.
Better than I expected! Thanks!
Very nice neck blanks. And the shipping was fast. I will be buying from this company again soon.
Will definitely purchase again
Great item, good packaging fast ship
These blanks are a fantastic value. The colors on the roasted maple blanks are gorgeous. I’ve carved a couple of tele necks out of these blanks in the past and I’m always surprised by the beauty and quality of the product. Highly recommend...you won’t regret it.
As others have said, nice figure for 2A. Can be either thin, tight flame or larger figure with some void areas. Expect to lose some thickness after truing, straightening with your jointer or plane.
