Hybrid wood consists partially of wood, and partially of different coloured acrylic resins. They are merged (cast) in a special process. The resulting hybrid material can be processed easily and is dimensionally stable. You may need to sharpen your tools quite often. In order to achieve great visual effects, partly ground mother of pearl shell is used, which can blunt sharp cutting tools faster than usual.
The wooden parts of this blank is stabilized with acrylic resin and fully impregnated. However, it can be easily worked with sharp tools, and any odor is minimal and negligible. The stabilization process results in excellent hardness, durability, and stability. This makes it well-suited for heavy-duty use and damp environments, such as outdoor applications.
We have produced the blank offered here for you using a complex process in our own production.
Ziricote (Cordia dodecandra) is native to Central America and the Caribbean and delivers unique color and wood grain that is reminiscent of a Japanese landscape painting. The heartwood is dark brown to gray with black veins. The sapwood is rather light yellow.
The wood is dense, hard, and extremely decorative. The trees remain relatively small and reach a diameter of rarely more than 18 inches. Because of its excellent acoustic qualities it is mainly used for musical instruments, particularly guitars.
Dimensions: approx. 245 x 53 x 53 mm

Finely grained wood may contain imperfections such as open knots, bark inclusions, or cracks that are typical of the species. These flaws come from the way the tree has grown and are completely natural. They can usually be filled with low-viscosity cyanoacrylate (super glue) and wood dust.
