Myrtlewood – An exotic hardwood which grows only
along the N. California and S. Oregon coastal region. Myrtlewood occurs
in beautifully figured and burled patterns, and in a wide range of
colors. It is very hard wood with fine interwoven fiber. Tonally, it has
superb projection and sustain, and a very full and beautifully balanced
sound. This superior tonewood is perfect for both acoustic and electric
guitars. |
 |
Redwood – Another tonally superior wood from the
coastal mountains of Northern California. We stock salvaged old growth
Redwood, in burl, straight and curly grain. This beautiful tight grain
wood provides the finest quality acoustic guitar soundboards, highly
resonate solid bodies, and stunning, intensely figured tops for electric
guitars |
 |
Port Orford Cedar - Actually a rare variety of
Cypress (Lawson Cypress) which grows along the S. Oregon Coast where
it's endured for over 50 million years. This is an incredibly light
weight, yet tough wood possessing phenomenal tonal qualities. Acoustic
and electric guitars made of POC are light weight and sound magnificent. |
 |
Maple – Available in a variety of Fiddle Back,
Quilted, Burled, Birdseye and Spaulted patterns. We have an excellent
inventory of select Western Big Leaf and Eastern Rock Maple for musical
instruments. |
 |
Claro Walnut - (Juglans hindsii) from N.
California & S. Oregon, possesses a beautiful purple brown tone, and is
often highlighted with black, purple, green, golden and tan. It can be
intensely figured and curly. Our stock is all air dried, allowing the
wood to more effectively retain the beautiful colors and superior tonal
qualities |
 |
Bastogne Walnut - Perhaps the rarest Walnut in
the world, a cross between English and Claro Walnut which occurs less
than 1 % of the time. Only a few of these trees exist. The colors and
figuring are stunning. It's substantially harder than other Walnut
varieties, similar to Rock Maple or old growth Brazilian Rosewood.
Bastogne Walnut is highly prized for tonewood, gunstocks, and fine
furniture. |
 |
Franquette Walnut – aka Carpathian/English
Walnut. The Franquette is a very old Walnut variety, originating in
Persia. For centuries it was cultivated for nut production, but is now
being replaced with more productive hybrids. Franquette Walnut is very
dense and hard with spectacular high contrast marbling. It is highly prized for the finest gun stocks and furniture. The tonal qualities are excellent. |
 |
Pistachio – This is the variety of Pistachio
grown commercially for nut production. The wood is very dense and hard,
similar to Ebony. The colors include green, red, white, and tan to dark
brown, in stunning patterns of contracting bands. Pistachio has
excellent tonal qualities and a most unique look. |
 |
Douglas Fir - This common wood is often
overlooked for musical instruments. Yet, when a major scientific study
was conducted on a wide variety of woods for their tonal qualities, old
growth Douglas Fir was rated as one the most desirable, rating higher
than nearly every other species. We stock salvaged, tight grain, air
dried old growth. |
 |
Wild Olive Wood - (Olea capensis macrocarpus) A
rare hardwood/tonewood from Zambia. Beautiful colors, contrast and light
figuring combine to yield exquisite beauty. The extreme density,
(approx. 1.05, very similar to Ebony), yields bright tonal qualities,
making Wild Olive a desirable tonewood |
 |
Macassar Ebony – A rare and extreme hardwood
from Indonesia. We currently have a limited supply but will not be
restocking this wood. |
