{"product_id":"1950s-brazilian-rosewood-veneer","title":"1950's Brazilian Rosewood Veneer for Guitar Head Plates","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur 1950's Brazilian Rosewood Veneer came from The D.R. Webb Veneer company in Edinburg, IN.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRude and Mr. Webb became good friends during that time trading wood and pieces our dad would make for him. A couple times I rode up with my dad and once went up with the trucker dad had hired to bring a load of slats back. The veneer here was packed in crates — some were flitches to show prospective buyers, a couple were canceled orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Brazilian Rosewood Veneer is 7.84\" x 3.54\" x .039-.042\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s, veneer mills soaked whole logs in steam-heated vats before slicing — a labor-intensive process made possible by the era's abundance of old-growth timber. The result was a dramatically thicker veneer (.039-.042\") with tighter grain, fewer defects, and the structural integrity of solid wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor luthiers, this thickness is a game-changer. It provides the rigidity to anchor tuning machines without flex, bonds cleanly to mahogany, maple, or carbon fiber necks, and offers enough material to sand, bind, and finish to a glassy surface. A headplate with history — and the performance to match.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osolnik Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45797149081634,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/2127\/5682\/files\/IMG_8689.jpg?v=1782507969","url":"https:\/\/www.rudeosolnik.com\/products\/1950s-brazilian-rosewood-veneer","provider":"Osolnik Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
