We have a limited number of these sets. It is very hard to come by and is mostly seen as small pieces for turning.

Beautiful wood. Quite dense and resonant. I was lucky enough to but 2 sets, figured, relatively quite inexpensive from a retiring luthier on ebay. Only got 1 left after my first commissioner saw it. Gone, instantly. Made a sweet guitar. |

Ceylon Satinwood (Chloroxylon swietenia) Common Name(s): East Indian Satinwood, Ceylon Satinwood Scientific Name: Chloroxylon swietenia Distribution: Central and southern India, and Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) Tree Size: 40-50 ft (12-15 m) tall, 1-1.5 ft (.3-.5 m) trunk diameter Average Dried Weight: 61 lbs/ft3 (975 kg/m3) Specific Gravity (Basic, 12% MC): .80, .98 Janka Hardness: 2,620 lbf (11,650 N) As you can see the SG is right up there with the densest woods such as Honduran RW, African Blackwood, and of course the Ebonies so expect similar results. Quite dense and resonant. |
