Blackheart Sassafras Headstock Veneer

Blackheart Sassafras is a very rare timber which can only be sourced from Tasmania. I brought this block back from my recent wood-hunting trip.  Beautiful creamy tones with very special blackheart markings.

Dry and ready to use.

David from Australian Guitar Timbers mills all his logs, which sit in strip and air dry for at least two years before being cut into blocks. The timber is placed in a Solar or Electric Kiln and dried further to between 8 and 10% moisture content. Nearly all of David’s logs are sourced locally here in Queensland except for the Tasmanian Timbers.  Rather than trees being sent to be chipped they are saved and collected to be repurposed. Australian Guitar Timbers sustainably collect wood and love that they can convert the timber into a much-loved instrument part.
