In this "The Woods" section are pictures of some of the timbers that have been used to make guitars in this workshop. There are many others that are not shown, and certain pieces might vary enormously from the pictures. They are not intended to be a catalogue of available materials, just an indication of one aspect of what draws a guitar maker to his craft.
