The Lone pine

[auscab]

This Maton guitar top was made from a branch that fell a few years back, from a seedling that grew from seed off the original lone pine.

The whole tree was taken out a few months back, due to disease [ I think ?]

It would be nice to see a fair bit more of the wood given out / sold to, some luthiers this time and let the board room table makers have second choice.
