Ohia Acoustic Guitar Back and Sides, Standard Size (CI78)

Ohia is a wood steeped in Hawaiian culture.  It is rare that we offer any wood that we have not personally recovered.  This Ohia came out of a luthiers wood supplier’s shop and we believe it to have been cut from wind fall trees after a hurricane hit the islands about fifteen to twenty years ago.  It is air dried.  The wood is very dense and finishes with a high polish.  At one time the wood could only be used for Hawaiian royalty.
