Wild Olive Wood - (Olea capensis macrocarpus)
A rare hardwood/tonewood well known in Europe for centuries. This
variation is from Zambia. Beautiful colors, contrast and light figuring
combine to yield exquisite beauty. The extreme density, (approx. 1.05)
is very similar to Ebony, and yields bright tonal qualities, making Wild
Olive a highly sought after tonewood |
 |
Myrtlewood Perhaps the most exotic wood growing in North
America. Myrtlewood occurs in beautifully figured and burled wood, but
with a wider variety of colors than any other wood we know of. Revered
for use in fine musical instruments, furniture, architectural features
and for turning.

Koa All Koa comes from Hawaii. Some of the very finest came
from the slopes of Mauna Loa and because of its color, became known as
Mauna Loa Purple. We just acquired an old lot of very high quality Mauna
Loa Purple, cut and cured for nearly 20 years. Exquisite colors and
intense 4 way figuring dominate our inventory.

Maple Fiddle Back, Tiger Stripe, Quilted, Burled, Birdseye
or Spaulted. We have an excellent inventory of Big Leaf, Red, and Rock
Maple for musical instruments, fine furniture, cabinetry, turning and
architectural features.

Ebony Macassar Ebony from Indonesia. This magnificent wood
varies from mostly black to wildly banded and marbled black and brown
patterns. Some looks extremely similar to the highest end Brazilian
Rosewood from days long past. In addition to use in very high-end
furniture and architecture, it is now being discovered for its tonal
qualities and use for high quality musical instruments.

Redwood From the coastal mountains of Northern California,
Redwood has long been prized for use in fine furniture, specialty items
and architectural features. Redwood also makes very high quality
acoustic guitar soundboards, highly resonate solid bodies, and stunning,
intensely figured tops for electric guitars.

Bastogne Walnut - Perhaps the rarest Walnut in the world, a
rare cross between English Walnut and Claro Walnut. Only about 50 of
these trees exist. The colors and figuring are stunning. It's
substantially harder than other Walnut varieties and similar in hardness
to Rock Maple or old growth Brazilian Rosewood. Easily worked, it yields
a spectacular finish. Bastogne Walnut is highly prized for tonewood,
gunstocks, architectural and fine furniture. |
