Features:
Solid Hand Selected High Contrast Myrtlewood, umbellularia californica, formerly oreodaphne californica, originates in the western United States in Northern California and Oregon. Myrtlewood offers a strong fundamental with a powerful voice. Similar to maple, it has a clear and bright voice with superb projection and sustain, and offers a full and balanced sound. A versatile non-traditional tonewood, it is a favorite for many styles of playing. Myrtle has very unique and widely varied figure – no two sets are alike. Coloration ranges from blonde to taupe.
Solid Hand Selected Tight and Light Grain Port Orford Cedar Top, chamaecyparis lawsoniana. Port Orford cedar is a highly aromatic wood, delivering a subtle but powerful tone, originates in southwest Oregon and northwest California.
Tone Profile: Durable, stiff and strong with warm resonance. Very versatile acoustically. Like a combination of Sitka spruce and Western red cedar.
Aesthetics: Light amber in color, and also quite aromatic like eucalyptus.
Trivia / Fact: This tonewood known for its highly fragrant ginger aroma. Due to the straightness of its grain, it is also one of the preferred woods for arrow shafts.
