Wood

Here you can find a selection of wood available to guitar making. I offer both traditional materials as well as locally sourced alternative woods, in an effort to minimize environmental and social impact related to tropical lumber extraction, without any compromise to the sound and quality of the guitars. I'm always open to trying new materials, so if you have any special inquire, please contact me. CITES 2nd appendix listed woods (like Brazilian Rosewood) are not available for builds.
