About Californian Bastogne Walnut Carved Tops / Drop Tops
Bastogne Walnut, also known as Paradox Walnut, is a natural hybrid between English Walnut (Juglans regia) and Northern California Black Walnut (Juglans hindsii). It is highly valued by woodworkers and luthiers for its combination of rich walnut coloration, strength, stability, and beautiful grain.
Selected guitar-grade Bastogne Walnut can display warm golden-brown, chocolate-brown, reddish-brown, and darker tones, often accompanied by swirling grain, curls, figure, mineral streaks, and attractive natural variation.
Our carved tops and drop tops are prepared for premium guitar-making applications. The natural figure of Bastogne Walnut can create a sophisticated and luxurious appearance under clear or transparent finishes.
