• Description: Padauk Bariolé is a very rare and exclusive variety of Padauk and it is very uncommon in the market. At a glance it is possible to appreciate the uniqueness of the designs and colors of this wood. The heartwood is an intense red color interlaced with shades of beige and gray, which characterize this spectacular wood. Like Padauk, this is a very easy wood to work with, which produces a clear and clean sound.

  Bariolé will allow you to build unique and precious guitars, with a striking beauty that will distinguish your instrument from all others. 

• 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.

   

  In the case of Classic Guitar  Backs, even though most of the times we will find cut pieces with straight grain or quarter cut there will be also sometimes specially on the exotic woods like Cocobolo, Ziricote, Exotic Ebony and others, where we can find pieces partly flat cut due to the size of the trees. The cutting of these woods give the instrument an incredible beauty even though we know it is ideal for the sound and the instrument stability.
