Victorian Blackwood

Victorian Blackwood
( acacia melanoxylon )

One of the most visually stunning furniture timbers available, Blackwood has also become an important tonewood. Most of our Blackwood comes from the Otway Ranges in Victoria, Australia. It often displays "fiddleback" character and "AAA" grade Blackwood can be intensely figured.

It has a warm, full tone with a particularly pleasing mid frequency response and has become one of our most sought after timbers.
It may be of interest to learn, that whenever a Maton employee gets to make their own guitar, they almost always choose Blackwood.
