Description
Queensland Maple Back and Sides
This beautifully quarter sawn, book-matched pair of Queensland Maple offers both tonal excellence and visual appeal for high-end guitar making
Queensland Maple (Flindersia brayleyana), native to northern Queensland, Australia, is highly prized for its use in fine instrument making, particularly for guitars and other stringed instruments.
Renowned for its warm, balanced tonal qualities and excellent projection, it is well-suited to a wide range of musical genres and playing styles. The distinctive grain and figuring add both elegance and character to the set.
Dry and Ready to Use
David from Australian Guitar Timbers mills all his own logs. He air-dries the timber in strips for at least two years before cutting it into blocks. He then kiln-dries the timber in a solar or electric kiln until it reaches 8–10% moisture content.
David sources most of his logs locally in Queensland, with the exception of Tasmanian timbers. Instead of letting these valuable logs go to waste as woodchips, Australian Guitar Timbers rescues and repurposes them.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We love giving this beautiful Australian timber a second life as part of a much-loved musical instrument.
