Question: What is Sinker Redwood?
Sinker Redwood is the name for redwood logs that have been reclaimed from rivers, dried out and used for guitar building. These logs were historically chopped and processed at the sawmill, and then floated downstream en masse to get to their next destination. Some logs sank to the bottom of the riverbed, where they sat for decades before being located and rescued. Sinker redwood is special because the nutrients in the river change the timber itself and contribute to a rich and different tone.
