About this item

  • Torrefied spruce is dimensionally stable (non-shrinking), with the clear tone and warm color of well-aged vintage tonewood
  • Torrefied wood is heat-treated in an oxygen-free kiln, making it highly resonant and extremely stable
  • The result of this treatment is wood that looks and sounds like it's been broken in for many years.
  • Supplied as bookmatched sets of two quartersawn halves that are, when joined, large enough for a Dreadnought guitar
  • Each quartersawn half measures approximately 8-1/2" x 21" (216mm x 533mm), and is approximately 5/32” (4mm) thick, ready for thickness-sanding to your own specs

About torrefied wood

It takes years for a new guitar to break in, to develop its tone and realize its full potential. As tonewood ages, its cell structure goes through changes, becoming much more resonant and responsive. After a few years, you get the payoff: you begin to hear the sound of a vintage guitar.

With the introduction of torrefied woods, professional builders are giving their guitars a head start on tone. The wood is heat-treated in an oxygen-free kiln, making it highly resonant and extremely stable. It's as if the wood is pre-aged. It looks and sounds like wood that's been broken in for many years.
