# This top is from the first sinker Rick brought home in the early 90's. (we call it "The Log") He was out at Mendocino, CA looking for old growth redwood the locals call buckskin These are ancient trees that were cut down but never gathered. This was not all that unusual in the 1850's and still to this day are being salvaged. When the sawyer learned what Rick was looking for he said "I've been saving this log for something special."
It was a massive 14' long sinker log with some of the edge split away so that Rick could see the same grain running the full length in an amazing fashion. Rick did all the research he could at the time but couldn't find any luthiers that were using it on their instruments. The sawyers were making their salvaged logs into beams, other dimensional lumber and siding.
So he went back and offered to purchase the end 2' and the sawyer would still have a very saleable 12' for beams or whatever with the understanding he would return and buy the rest if liked the results. After resawing and drying the material, he yielded more than 30 tops. After he built a guitar using this sinker he went back and bought the rest of the log and the rest is history.
