Port Orford Cedar is not only a beautiful wood for luthiers to use in building acoustic guitars and ukuleles it has a tone that enhances most any top it is matched with.  Port Orford Cedar can also be used as the body for an electric solid body guitar.  We recover our Port Orford Cedar on the Southern Oregon Coast.  The wood has unmatched qualities, easy workability, and sustained tap tones. It will make high quality acoustic or electric instrument. The areas that the trees are removed from are replanted with new trees making this a very eco-friendly and sustainable guitar wood.  The cool wet air of the Oregon Coast makes the perfect environment for slow consistent growth of acoustic instrument quality wood.  We air dry our Port Orford Cedar for at least three years.  We sand our bodies to thickness and never plane them. 

Port Orford Cedar is a great tone wood for acoustic guitar and will improve the sound on a solid body as well.
