Roasted Maple figured neck wood for sale.
We manufacture roasted maple neck blanks and body woods. Some people refer to it as baked maple, thermally treated wood, torrefied wood, etc. It's most often the same thing!
Typically, we roast figured maple woods like Flame Maple, Curly Maple or Birdseye Maple. However, we also supply thermally treated swamp ash, alder, mahogany, poplar, basswood and other woods. These are primarily made for body wood applications in the production of electric guitars and basses. However, it is also popular in the realm of Classical guitar making. More and more acoustic instrument manufacturers use roasted tonewoods each year. Additionally, carvers use figured roasted maple for Wood Carving and turners use it for Woodturning.
First, we start with high quality figured maple. The roasting kiln is not a magic wand. You have to send in good figured wood to get back high quality roasted figured wood.
Next we thermally treat the wood to prevent the maple from taking in moisture. We go into the roasting process in depth in our website here:

Wikipedia defines classical guitar making as follows: A person who is specialized in the making of stringed instruments such as guitars, lutes and violins is called a luthier. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic...
A secondary effect of the roasting process is that it darkens the wood color. The color tone is a function of two factors: #1 Kiln temperature #2 Kiln time.
In this video, we take you into the wood lair and show you a sampling of some of the roasted maple blanks we make: a couple of light figure 5/4 Roasted Maple blanks, Roasted Birdseye Maple Calico bass fretboard blanks, Curly Maple roasted bass blanks and Flame Maple roasted guitar neck blanks.,
In a future video, we'll show you some of the roasted body woods that we make! However, in the meantime, if you'd like to see an in-depth analysis of roasted wood guitar body wood, check out this video from our friends at Warmoth:

Steve, They are absolutely beautiful samples 😊 I'm interested in the white rack on the right. It looks like a CD holder. What is the function of it? if you don't mind me asking 😊
I experimented with roasting Spruce this year for instrument tops and the difference in tone is great 😊 ॐ
One more thing. I have a ton of reclaimed wood, all softwood that had been shelves in a factory for over 40 years. Some of it is far too big to store inside until I have the time to process it and the guys helping me to transport it thought it would be bad to leave some of it out in the rain during the winter, but in fact, I've never found it be an issue with well seasoned wood. I would love to hear your experience on this.
By the way, if I lived local to you, I would definitely pay you regular visits for wood and to pick your brains. Please keep up these informative videos my friend. Blessings 😊 ॐ
The Wood Yogi Hi Chris! Thanks for the kind words.
The white racks are a bit of an experiment. I was brainstorming ways to organize the Ziricote fretboards we made so we can access them quickly while not taking up much space. I bought two 4’ long wire closet racks. Installed one 3 off the wall and the other about 12” in front of it to make a floating vertical rack. The fretboards easily slide in and out and I can log their locations. It needs some refining but the concept is sound (and the price is right!)
I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’m not sure on the reclaimed question. We are located in Southern California so we don’t have harsh winter conditions to deal with. My gut feeling says it’s probably OK but I’d feel bad if I was incorrect and you lost esome reclaim
So beautiful video big like 3
I think you need to start doing three videos a day to satisfy all the tone wood questions out there 😆
Heidi Ondich oh that’s coming!!! 😝
The wood is gorgeous
Pople BackyardFarm Thanks for watching. I agree with your assessment! 😆
Hello my friend. you are a good master of wood. Thank you for sharing this information. Great greetings.....
İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler. Bu hafta yeni videolar üzerinde mi çalışıyorsunuz?
@@CommercialForest Yes. This week on Wednesday I will probably share the video of my new project. Yours truly.
Subbed... wow
That’s absolutely beautiful timber.
Daz Evers thanks Daz! We try our best!
I finally found your ebay store... I will be buying from you there are some beautiful pieces there. Thanks!
Joe Sheldon Prana Custom Guitars Hi Joe! Sounds great. You are not the first person to say that. Guess I better check into how I’m promoting that store! It’s not supposed to be a secret 😆. I know you are a black Limba guy and we are posting a bunch of new stuff this week. Crazy colors.
you are so good at this wood thing you are doing! definitely know a lot! you are a wood master, super big like!
Wood master?... I don't know about that...maybe Wood Overlord. Yes, that's it Wood Overlord! 😝
@@CommercialForest That what happens when you are wood overload! you became a master like you!
That's just darn pretty right there. Volume was doing some odd things though?
Fixit Fingers Thanks! I’m about ready to try a new video editor. I’ve been using Splice on my iPhone. It was pretty simple to use, not too many bells and whistles, which is perfect for me.
Then they did an update which wiped out one of my videos completely. The new version has more features but is glitchy with audio issues. Oh well 😔.
What temperature's you used and for how long time? When roast tree?

What do you think one of those pieces would look like if cut and glued up into a cube ? Which I would then carve into a bowl. I have a client looking for a 6x6x6 inch bowl; she would really like the dark, figured maple with all that chatoyance. -Mike
p.s. Steve, I love your videos, but dude, lately, the volume has been, ahem, erratic.
MPart I hear you. 😆 I am on a plan to post regular content for a little over a month to see what the effect is on my RUclips SERP results. Don’t know if I can really keep up this pace. Also, my feelings are not going to be hurt if people don’t comment on every video - I know it’s a lot! However, it will be worth it yes just gets me to the next level, if you know what I mean. I think it turned piece would look awesome. I can tell you when you carve into this rest of material the color stays consistent. It’s the same color on the interior as the exterior. If you want to collaborate, I will pack you up a you US PS flat rate box with 1 1/16 x 4”x 6” Maple blanks. let me know, just give me a shout out in your video, assuming you’re making one. 👍
@@CommercialForest Oh, don't worry about me doing a video 'cause I certainly will 😃 And a collaboration is welcome 🙏 Do you still have my address ? -Mike
@@mpart_woodlathe-stuff Yikes! I do (Pittsburgh, correct?) and just realized that I still have your Korina blank from November in the "Wood Lair," as well. I'll send them both your way. Are you looking for variation on the maple bowl (different figures in each board)?
@@CommercialForest Yep, I'm the Pittsburgh guy 😁 Variations? I don't think it will matter. I was thinking of strip(?) cutting while you we showing your maple blanks. BTW, the 'burn' through and through the roasted maple is what confirmed that it would make a nice turning. And who can deny the figuring is a bad thing ? -Mike
Steve, Rectangles are not ideal turning blanks, squares are. If I have 1x4x6 I would need 6 pieces of 1 inch this to get a 6 x 6 x 4 inch bowl. Square is everything (not as in 90 degrees) for turning. Does that make sense ? 4 pieces would yield a 4x4 inch bowl but waste 2" from each blank.
Is the curly maple hard Sugar Maple?
Tonefiend hi 👋🏻 Hi Ian - the curly is red leaf 🍁.
Commercial Forest Nice, I thought so. The weight is considerably less than sugar maple. Now I have another question. Does the roasting lighten the weight of the wood up even more?
Tonefiend it does a little but i think it’s mostly limited to the water weight loss.
What is roasted maple?
Bryan's Loess Hills Homestead It’s basically Maplewood that has gone through a second kiln drying process with the temperature cranked up really high. Back in the day, the Vikings used to just light their wood on fire and burned wood had moisture resistant properties… Same concept, just under much more controlled circumstances 😆
Suzen Jump it smells roasted, too!
