For our "Maple Fingerboard With Veneer" option, we laminate a piece of black walnut on to clear maple.

For the "Slots Cut" option, we have cut slots for the nut, bridge and frets so they are ready for installation. We will cut slots for 18 frets (including the 6 1/2 fret) for a total scale length of 27".

For the "Frets Installed" option, we cut the slots as in the "Slots Cut" option, and install and trim the frets. The price you see includes the installation and the fret wire.
 

About Black Walnut: As one of the most traditional and most beautiful of the woods used in folk instruments, black walnut is a great choice for almost any part of your instrument. Black walnut ranges in color from tan to very dark brown with occasional hints of red or purple in some pieces. The wood tends to have quite a few knots (we try to ship clear pieces), so there is a fair amount of waste when starting from raw wood and it can be hard to get large pieces. Walnut is fairly heavy and hard, works and sands easily, and leaves your instrument with a good tone quality.
