Port Orford Cedar (POC) is a stellar choice for Mandolin flat top soundboards, backs, sides & necks. POC tonewood, (actually a Pseudo-Cypress), is also very light weight, strong, amazingly stable, easily worked and takes a glass-like finish. Most important, it’s highly resonant with fabulous projection, great sustain and rich harmonic development.

You know Pistachio nuts and ice cream, but wait till you see and hear a Pistachio mandolin..! The wood is very dense and hard, with a bright, crisp sound. The colors include a kaleidoscope of green, red, white, and tan to dark brown. Due to the small size of these trees, instrument size stock will always be very limited and provides a unique tonewood option for your next flat top Mandolin.

Myrtlewood tonewood is a stellar choice for flat top Mandolin back & side sets and necks. It yields magnificent sound, with some of the sweetest harmonic development to be heard. Easily fashioned to a lustrous finish, Myrtlewood Mandolins look as sweet as they sound. This rare deciduous evergreen is also known as California Laurel.

Douglas fir tonewood is becoming recognized for generating outstanding projection, sustain and harmonic development. These characteristics can greatly improve the sound your next Mandolin. It’s extremely stable wood and takes a great finish. Builders using Douglas fir tonewood claim it makes the finest sounding Mandolins they’ve ever heard.

Claro Walnut tonewood is a great option for flat top Mandolin back & side sets and necks. Rich warm sound, bold and clear, with superb harmonics best describe Walnuts’ tonal qualities. We air dry all of our stock to achieve the best colors, structural and tonal characteristics. Easily fashioned, Claro Walnut will yield visually stunning Mandolins.

Western Bigleaf Maple is the preferred mandolin tonewood for back and side sets by many luthiers and players seeking traditional mandolin sound. The curly (fiddleback) and somewhat rarer quilted figure yield beautiful instruments. Janka hardness is approximately 850 and it is known to take a nice finish.
