Australian hardwoods provide an excellent alternative to the traditional bow woods of Pernambuco and Snakewood. Pernambuco is listed as endangered due to exploitation and decreased natural range. Snakewood although not currently listed as endangered, will probably have restricted exportation in the future due to heavy poaching of this coveted wood. My woods are sourced from suppliers that provide the highest quality and most ethically sourced timber available. Individual trees are salvaged as dead/fallen, at the end of their lifecycle or are individually harvested in a manner that leaves the ecological system as undisturbed as possible.
