  • Description: Monkey pod is a wood of golden to dark brown colors, sometimes, although it is not common, we can find pieces with dark streaks. The grain is straight, wavy with a medium to fine texture and open pores. It is an easy wood to work, with respect to drying all precautions should be taken to prevent the wood from cracking or warping.

    The Monkey pod or Sama is a wood very used in Ukuleles and Guitars, the tone is similar to the Mahogany with brighter shades that this one, also it can be compared with the sound that provides the black walnut.

     The appearance of an instrument finished with Monkeypod wood is spectacular, this wood is predestined to be one of the favorites of our luthiers. 

  • Quality: These pieces are not classified by qualities and are included within a medium standard of quality, in other words, when we select them we reject the cracked pieces, with serious defects, or broken or useless ones. Therefore, we will always find good pieces that can have some slight defect, nice pieces, or pieces less attractive, always taking in account variations in colour or growth rings that each wood specie may have.

     

    We are very careful when we select the Acoustic and Classic guitar sides because of knots, depending on where they are they can crack the sides during bending process.

    We also have to take care when working with sides that are not quarter as they can crack easily during bending process. Despite all this, as with the exotic backs we can find flat cut sides, those would be perfect for these backs.
