There are a number of timbers that form the heart of all guitar making- Rosewood, Mahogany, Ebony and Spruce being the most important. Supplies of these quality timbers are becoming more and more difficult to obtain.

We strive to buy from responsible suppliers and encourage the use of alternative timbers, also to adopt techniques that avoid waste and make better use of a valuable and in many cases irreplaceable resource.

As time goes one, we are offered quantities of particularly rare timbers and also materials that are less rare but comparatively unknown. More and more, we are finding our own sources and buying less from conventional suppliers.
