Prima Vera

Primavera (cybistax donnell-smithii) sometimes called white or blonde mahogany grows in Central America and Mexico. It is creamy white to yellowish rose, sometimes tinted with pale brown, orange or pinkish stripes. Primavera is strong, medium textured, with straight to interlocking and wavy grain,  sometimes with a ribbon or fiddle-back figure. It has a fairly high luster, is easily dried with little or no degrade, and has excellent polishing and finishing characteristics. Tonally Prima Vera is similar to Honduras mahogany.  If you like the warm sound of a mahogany guitar, try a set of our Prima Vera.

 

We mill all of our Prima Vera sets from 1960's veneer backing boards. This wood is air-dried, stable and ready to use.
