- 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 Monkeypod 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.
In the case of Acoustic and 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.
