Timber is part of nature and unlike man-made products it may have natural features that are undesirable for luthiers. Although these features can pervay uniqueness and authenticity they may also be seen as imperfect by some. We have made every effort to highlight any blemishes or defects as best as we can. Please rely on the photos for the most accurate representation of the timber. 

Disclamer: It is recommended that the luthier ensure that the timber has reached the appropriate EMC for their environment and application, and is  stabilised to their working conditions before glueing. Otway Tonewoods holds no responsibility for the luthier failing to condition the timber for their needs. We give a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all products if it fails to meet the description.

Highly figured timber can be difficult to work with, particularly when bending sides or planing. We will not be liable for damage or breakages of the timber during construction.
