Sinker Redwood
Sinker redwood soundboards are milled from huge old-growth redwood logs reclaimed from the depths of Northern California rivers. In some cases the logs have lain for more than a century. Sinker redwood typically display’s a rich spectrum of variegation which is the result of colors uniquely deposited from the silt and the mineral-rich water.
Due to the size and age of most sinker redwood specimens the wood tends to have a tight grain with a strong cross-grain stiffness. The grain gives the wood a fairly bold response, with a brilliance complemented by warm overtones similar to cedar. Sinker Redwood is commonly referred to as “Cedar on steroids”
