I was thinking about Bearclaw Sitka Spruce, and how each one of the tops are completely different from each other. Some have big splotches of figure, others have smaller streaks, and still others have thinner lines and trails of bearclaw figure. Additionally, the figure didn’t seem to continue itself very deeply in the wood, which made it a little bit more difficult to get perfectly symmetrical figure in the bookmatched tops.

None of them, however, looked as though a bear had run his claws across the board, (where the name had first originated from.)

As a result of this uniqueness, I’ve decided to list each Bearclaw Spruce top individually in the Treasure Trove. The top on the left shows some nice figure, along with a very good level of symmetry as well.
