Bog Oak Falstaff

I think most of the Bog Oak Guitars we have made have been " Personal Selection" instruments where the timbers are entirely my own choice. It's a really special timber and I have to guard it quite carefully; I don't think the supply will last much longer.

I don't remember what bribery was offered to persuade me to make this, but I'm glad we did, it’s beautiful. Such strong colours and details. Very intense Sinker Redwood from my carefully guarded stock, personally selected by myself and Moira on site In California many years ago. Snakewood bindings, not just binding pieces from a dealer, but specially cut from one of several complete logs I've bought over the years. Many makers will not use this material as it is so hard to work with. Well done, Paul.

I’m hoping to have something similar at Ullapool.
