A local furniture maker imported a whole log of Curly Claro Walnut from Oregon, but didn't have enough for the next project, so Roger Bucknall bought the remainder for a guitar. The neck is made from walnut and laminated with ebony. The soundboard is sinker redwood which was brought back from California. The “sunburst” effect is achieved using a blowtorch – it really is flamed! The Rose inlay is four pieces of Pearl with a small amount of engraving.
