I have ordered three maple tops at three different times and I am very satisfied with what I have got. The pieces came very well packed and sealed. Perfect dried, nice sanded and ready to glue. One of the good things about Holz Faszination is that you see the actual piece of wood you are buying right at the website. Not just any prime flamed maple top, you see what you will have. And I have not been disappointed yet. I see Holz Faszination as an important supplier for my production in the future. Robert Sahrling, Luthier
