At Pacific Rim Tonewoods, we personally select  every spruce log. We split these logs into guitar top blocks, maximizing quality while minimizing any twist that a log might have; we especially want the wood fibers to run parallel to the face of the guitar. There are many crucial decisions made before  our sawyers ever touch a block; they cut the blocks into vertical grain boards, locking in the radial stiffness, and then trim and prepare them for drying.
