You've found or stumbled across Notable Woods. We have been been supplying instrument wood to luthiers and guitar factories since 1999. Please scroll down or click on one of the pages above to get more information about what we offer and how we run our business.

About Us...In A Nutshell

We source instrument-grade logs and lumber from sustainable or salvage sources, air dry the lumber a minimum of two years, carefully resaw it into thin plates, grade it, store it in our wood room kept at 45–50% relative humidity, and, ultimately, ship it to luthiers worldwide. Find out more at our shop tour page.
