About us...in a nutshell

We source instrument-grade logs and lumber from sustainable or salvage sources, air dry the lumber a minimum of three years before milling and grading it and then shipping it to luthiers worldwide. At our shop stuff page you'll find out more about our process. Our woods pages provide details about the species of woods we carry.

Welcome to Notable Woods! We've been supplying musical-instrument woods to luthiers and factories since 1999. We specialize in Hawaiian koa and woods of the Northwest—offering top, back, and side sets for guitar, ukulele, mandolin, electric, bass, Weissenborn and other stringed instruments.
