Farm-grown Californian Redwood Mini Guitar Top Book-matched Set
Unique, farm-grown Californian Redwood from the Otway Ranges in Victoria. This set is from a 37-year old tree grown by Rowan Reid on his property at the Bambra Agroforestry Farm.
The timber is processed to ensure the grain is as straight as possible to minimise long-grain runout and increase stability, strength and acoustic qualities. These top sets have a bright tone somewhere between cedar and spruce and have very good sustain

Timber is part of nature and unlike man-made products it may have natural features that could be undesirable for some luthiers. Although these features can purvey uniqueness and authenticity they may also be seen as imperfect by some. We have made every effort to highlight any blemishes or defects as best as we can. Please rely on the photos for the most accurate representation of the timber.
Disclaimer: It is recommended that the luthier ensure that the timber has reached the appropriate EMC for their environment and application, and is stabilized to their working conditions before gluing. We give a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all products if it fails to meet the description.
Highly figured timber can be difficult to work with, particularly when bending sides or planing. We will not be liable for damage or breakages of the timber during construction.
Shipping times may vary depending on the location. Please be patient with shipping delays and get in touch if you have any issues.
