CEYLON SATINWOOD - Chloroxylon swietenia - INSANE FIGURE acoustic guitar tonewood -Tom Sands Guitars

[@sbolfing]

Great episode! I had never heard of satinwood used in acoustic guitars - always love it when I learn something new!

[@TomSandsGuitars]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulboden7850]

Didn't realize you had so many videos. I was looking for Jupiter, didn't find it, but tons of other cool stuff. I hope you continue with the performer series.

Interesting! I’ll post a mega mix

[@kevingreene6893]

Nice wood - interesting sounds from the tap-tone - not too clear from the video - and from your description the smell is really pleasing - aromatic. Love the figuring on the set and the guitar back - awesome. Have you made any classical guitars Tom?

[@TomSandsGuitars]

I haven’t but thinking about it!

Reminds me of flamed birch aesthetically, but the sound is amazing. By the way, that shirt sure looks comfy.

[@TomSandsGuitars]

Oh yeah this old thing? Sure is!

[@IanPender]

I've never heard of this wood, but it's really interesting looking. Btw, it'd be cool to see your whole wood collection, and how you've got it stored/organized. That's one aspect of my shop that needs an overhaul, so I'd be curious to see what your stash looks like.

[@TomSandsGuitars]

So does mine!

Amazing looking wood!

[@TomSandsGuitars]

It’s cool huh!?

Nice wood!

[@TomSandsGuitars]

Thank you! Cheers!

Have you tried using teak? It’s a nightmare to machine 10% silica by weight but it’s supposed to be as good as rosewood sound wise as it is tremendously dense. I’ve just cut some and it’s lovely pink and gold colours. P.s. also Iroko, which is a beautiful wood to work and looks very nice.

[@TomSandsGuitars]

I haven’t, I’m not a huge fan of the look but maybe I should think again!

[@neilmchardy9061]

@@TomSandsGuitars I’ve done a few Iroko guitars and it looks nice the teak is a future challenge. I’d send you a pic but don’t know how to.

Awesome figure

[@TomSandsGuitars]

Sure is

[@edwardpetersen4309]

Almost looks like graphic treatment from human hands. Would you apply a stain?

[@suman24karm]

Is this wood rare
