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


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 from OregonWildWood.com 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.
Oregon Wild Wood Walnut 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 from OregonWildWood.com 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.

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.

Douglas Fir from OregonWildWood.com 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.
