My neighbor, the professional, came by today and dropped off a couple of ancient redwood sinker tops. Thanks Dave! The rest of you can drool... My work is cut out for me.
Gorgeous Red Wood Tops: Thanks David Sigman

You should have said, "Why, what's wrong with them???" 
You're a lucky guy, I've been looking at redwood online lately. Can't decide if I should spring for a single "luthier grade" redwood top, or just buy a board of quarter sawn redwood and resaw it myself. A board costs less, obviously, and I doubt there's a huge difference between luthier grade redwood and a board of tight grained quarter sawn redwood. More grain run out, probably, but sound wise, how big a difference could there be?
