Kithul is a wood native to South Asia, sourced from the Caryota urens palm, and traditionally used in Sri Lanka for handcrafted items and light construction. In recent years, it has gained attention in the field of lutherie thanks to its good dimensional stability once dried, its naturally rich dark color, and its ease of workability.

With an approximate density of 480 kg/m³, Kithul falls within a medium range, similar to alder or sapele. These qualities make it suitable for applications such as fingerboards or decorative components. Its understated visual appeal and sustainable origin make it an attractive option for makers seeking alternative tonewoods with a distinct character.
