Oregon Wildwood's mission is to identify and provide superior tonewoods,
to improve the sound of your next guitar


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 it’s 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.
