New woods from Prosono


20160422
I receive new wood stock from Prosono (South Africa).
The mill manager, Philippe, is really a friendly guy and very nice to do business with him.
I am quite sure I will be purchasing more woods from him.

For this batch of wood I got some African Blackwood, Pink Ivory and Chacate.
All of them are top notch wood (straight grain) especially the ABW which is really amazing.
I also take the opportunity to get some fingerboard.
African woods are really dense and mostly stable great candidate for fingerboard.
Do check out their woods.



Woods come in the box look how well it's packed


All wrap in multi layers of bubble wrap protection


Pink Ivory set (AAA)


Chacate - another dense wood. Look at how straight the grain is!


African Blackwood.
Another amazingly straight grain set which is very rare for ABW.
Even then flatsawn ABW is very very stable.


ABW fingerboard. 3 of them are straight grain while 2 are flatsawn.
All of them looks great!


Pink Ivory and Mopani fingerboard.
