Old Standard Update

I know it's been awhile, but thought I would check back in with the blog and give a quick update on things here at Old Standard. We just got a fresh batch of logs in (both Maple and Spruce), so we've been working through the logs as weather allows. (Raining here about every day...feels like the Northwest!) Speaking of Maple, check out the picture above of a particularly fine Red Maple log we worked up a few months ago. Super-nice figure...like you hardly ever see. We knew it was something special as soon as we took a bit of the bark off and got a good look at it. Also, we've gotten a good response from the new website. Seems everyone is enjoying the added pictures and extra info. Anyway, that's the news for now. Thanks for visiting...

Curly Maple Sample

We were milling through some maple recently to fill some orders and stumbled upon this archtop guitar set. The minute we planed it, we knew we were onto something special, so we grabbed a camera and snapped a shot of it. Keep in mind that this is straight off the planer, no varnish or finish at all...really spectacular curl.
