Description
In the hands of a skilled musician, this guitar cap becomes more than just a piece of wood, it becomes a catalyst for creativity, a source of inspiration, and a vessel for expressing the beauty of music itself.
Queensland maple, scientifically known as Flindersia brayleyana, is a hardwood species native to Australia, particularly found in the rainforests of Queensland. It is a popular choice for furniture making, cabinetry, joinery, and musical instruments due to its attractive appearance and favourable working properties
David from Australian Guitar Timbers mills all his own logs which then sit in strip and air dry for at least two years before being cut into blocks. The timber is then placed in a solar or electric kiln and dried further to between eight and ten percent moisture content. Nearly all of the logs David has 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.
