Port Orford Cedar is a beautiful wood for luthiers to use in building acoustic guitars and ukuleles.  It has a tone that is not as bright and sweet as spruce, but a little darker and earthier.  It plays well at all volumes and responds well to a pick or finger.  The wood will darken to a butterscotch color with age and exposure to light.  We recover our Port Orford Cedar on the Southern Oregon Coast.  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.   

There are two book matched piece 0.18 x 8 x 23 3/4".  

Photos are taken two ways.  The first to show what the finished instrument will look like and dry to show what the wood will look like when it arrives.
