Grading criterion for tops
Grading criterion for backs and sides
What do tonewood dealers mean by ‘Grand concert’ AAAA,
Master grade etc. Is it just the best wood they have in stock
on the day or are there defined criterion for the grades being
offered?
The grading system as detailed below evolved in the tonewood
department of Timberline many years ago as an attempt to
clearly define quality aspects of guitar back and sides sets. I
hope that it will be easily understood and that you will excuse
me for using a system unique to this company.
Many years ago when I was still active as a professional guitar
builder there were a few German traders who graded tops just
using the numbers 1 – 8 with the higher number being the
best quality achievable. The tops I sell now are based on that
old system. I have avoided using terms as listed above so that
my grading cannot be confused with any of the less concise
grades offered elsewhere.
The grade that I offer are listed and defined below.
AAA – Quarter sawn wood or nearly so.
AA – Wood that is quartered to one edge, (where the centre
joint of the back will be ), gradually straying from the quarter
ending up slab sawn at the opposite edge.
A – Wood that is slab sawn, the main slab sawn area being
approximately half way across the board.
Grade 8 – Perfection – extremely slow even growth, the
widest growth ring within the template area about 1mm.
Straight grain and even colour. Best possible quartering and
the minimum possible run-out (short grain). The wood will be
stiff with a high pitched tap tone.
* - One or more asterisks may be added to the grade mark to
indicate wood that is aesthetically more pleasing or desirable
by virtue of colour, intensity of figure or fineness of grain.
Grade 7 – Near perfection – very slow growth, the widest
growth ring within the template area about 2mm. Straight
grain. Very well quartered with minimal run-out ( short grain ).
Stiff boards with high pitched tap tone. Minimal colour
variation may be present.
Back and sides sets frequently are different grades for the back
and the sides e.g. AAA sides and AA back. The valuation of
these sets assumes the back and the sides each represent 50%
of the value of a set and are then added together.
Grade 6+ – Superior – slow growth, the widest growth ring
within the template area about 2.5mm. Well quartered with
minimal run-out (short grain). Stiff with a high pitched tap
tone. Infrequent inclusion of other quality issues, e.g. minor
flame, slight colour variation etc. Most makers would still
regard this grade suitable for high end work.
Grade 6 – Fine quality – slow to medium growth, the widest
growth ring within the template area about 3mm. Quartering
and run-out should still be to a good standard and a good tap
tone will still be present. Some inclusion of other quality
issues, e.g. minor flame, slight colour variation etc. Ideal for
less expensive instruments and student work.
Back and sides sets are pre matched for colour and character.
Grading for Indian rosewood sets
There are some specific grading criterion I use for Indian
rosewood guitar back and sides sets.
AAA – Wood that is light in colour and weight. Wood taken
from a higher grade having limited occurrence of small defects
such as pin knot, wormholes or silica in the grain within the
template area.
AAA* - Wood with a reasonable to good depth of colour but
having rather wild or curved grain along the length of the
panels. Good weight. No pinhole or silica, Wood from the
next grade up but with below par colour match.
Short grain, poor quartering, fungal discolouration, resin
pockets, unsightly colour variation etc. are avoided in the
selection process but if and when they are present result in the
board being demoted a grade or two.
AAA** - Wood with a reasonable to good depth of colour and
straight to nearly straight grain along the length of the panels.
Good to heavy weight. Good colour match, no pin knot,
worm or silica. The default top grade – faultless wood.
Bearclaw and Hazelficte – Specially figure tops occasionally
available at a slight premium of between 10% and 20% over
normal grade prices.
AAA*** - Wood with all the virtues found in AAA** sets but
with distinct and fine growth lines (annual rings if that is what
they are) about 2 – 3mm in width at their widest.
Honduras mahogany tops – The above grading rules cannot
be applied to mahogany tops. These tops will be selected as
being well quartered, light weight, and with the minimum
amount of interlocked grain.
Parlour guitars, Mandola, mandolin and Ukelele sets can be
supplied in most species from undersized guitar sets and will
always be priced fairly.

African Ebony – Diospyros crassiflora – 1050kg/m3
Sourced from Nigeria
Bubinga is a very strong and naturally stable wood a little
denser than Indian rosewood. The colour is orange red, often
nicely veined in darker red, and interlock and block mottle
figure are common. The texture is finer than that of Indian
rosewood requiring less grain filling. It’s a better quality wood
than the price would indicate making it useful for keenly
priced instruments.

Cocobolo is one of the most esteemed and desirable species of
rosewood and is endowed with the special beauty that is
expected from the best of this genus. It is multi coloured
when fresh maturing to shades of deep red brown and is stable
and very close textured. The premium status it has as a guitar
maker’s wood is well deserved but it does need a little extra
care when gluing.

This scarce timber has been marketed for some years in the
USA as Malaysian blackwood.
A reliable and stable wood lacking the brittle nature of some
other types of ebony. More subtly coloured than other striped
ebony species coloured mainly black on dark brown but
occasionally including dark green tones. Produces a very fine
sounding instrument according to feedback from many buyers.
The very deep colouration can be reminiscent of the very dark
old growth Brazilian rosewood seen on fine vintage
instruments.

A rare survivor of a bygone age. This stock is genuine old
stock Cuban grown mahogany sourced from hoarded stocks
that very occasionally become available to the market.
Exports of this timber effectively ceased long before an export
ban was applied in 1948. Here say evidence from the sellers
indicate an age of more than 100 years for this lumber and the
surface grime and patina on the surface of the boards bears
this up.
Cuban mahogany is much denser and smoother textured than
Honduras mahogany. It is ultra stable, finishes beautifully and
is a joy to work. Many top makers appreciate the sweet
sounding instruments that this fine timber produces.
Sourced from London, England

An interesting option for those who prefer to use home grown
timbers. Creamy white in colour with a distinct medullary ray
figure in brown. A similar density to sycamore therefore
implying a similar warm sound to the instrument.
Apparently sourced from opposite the Rolls Royce garage in
Berkeley square London W1 should timber sourcing be
important to you.

Cuban mahogany is so highly esteemed that for a couple of
centuries or so it has been planted in many other countries
around the tropical world.
The oldest trees are very hard to find but yield very good
wood for guitar making a fraction lighter in weight and colour
than mahogany from the West Indies.

This is the authentic mahogany that has been used as a
tonewood for a very long time. Avoid all imitations. It’s
tricky to source at the moment but we think it’s well worth the
effort.
Occasionally 20 – 30 year old stocks of Brazilian mahogany
become available and these are usually available as back and
sides sets at a slight premium.

Bird’s eye maple has been well regarded by guitar makers for
hundreds of years and it produces a fine sounding guitar of
singular beauty. It is also a departure from the ‘everything
must be quarter sawn’ school of guitar making because bird’s
eye figure only displays properly on slab cut faces.
Brown heart and other colouring and streaks are avoided but
might be found in a limited way in grade A*

Another relic of a bygone age. This stock was sourced at the
same time as one of the hoards of old stock Cuban mahogany
that also appear in this catalogue and therefore might also be
around 100 years old.
These rare old stock hoards owe their existence to a number
of factors. In many cases it is because the wood was so highly
esteemed and the owner could not bear to use the wood on a
job that did not justify it.
I take the view that a well built guitar is a very good use of
these fabulous old stocks.

Inky black to very dark brown and with a significantly higher
density and hardness than ordinary oak, bog oak was created
when prehistoric forests were submerged under water and silt
in anaerobic conditions thousands of years ago.
Fiendishly hard to get through the drying process but reliable
and stable when done. A handsome dark and dense timber for
guitar building producing good quality instruments.
When carbon dated, bog oak from this source was found to be
5300 years old.

This is not the same as the fabulous and famous rosewood
from Brazil that has been banned from international trade. It
is from the same genus and therefore has some of the same
virtues. The colour is rich chocolate brown and dark. It is
mostly plain in figure and is a little denser than Indian or Rio
rosewood.
These sets have been cut from scarce old stock boads
probably from the 1980’s. Logs are never very large in
diameter so most backs will be A or AA grade.

Indian rosewood became the standard wood of choice for fine
guitars when the availability of Rio rosewood began to wind
down in the 1950’s and 1960’s. C. F. Martin and co famously
changed over from Rio rosewood to Indian rosewood in 1969.
Indian rosewood grows to larger sizes than most Dalbergias
and well produced quarter sawn sets and value for money are
the norm.
The supply and export of Indian rosewood is comprehensively
and strictly controlled by the Indian government and future
availability looks good.

Pommelle is a rare and highly prized form of figure technically
very similar to the equally rare and highly prized quilted figure
sometime seen in American maple ( acer macrophyllum ).
It would be hard to find a better example of how special figure
in wood can elevate the humblest of wood to the utmost of
‘bling’.
It really is unusual for solid pommelle to escape the attention
of veneer cutters and this is therefore a rare offering indeed.

wide variety of colour. Acrylic waterstains are non grain
raising and lightfast. Any finish can be applied on top of it
and it can be used to tint acrylic lacquers.

Oil and Wax finishes – the oils used as woodfinishes all
change from a liquid to a solid state with exposure to the air.
When used sparingly they Oil finishes penetrate the wood
quite deeply leaving a low lustre finish with good moisture
resistance.
Wax finishes have the least of all resistance to heat, moisture
and abrasion. They remain popular as a protective layer over
French polished finishes and where durability is not important.

How to order
Who are we?
Please check availability by emailing your requirements to
[email protected] or contact us by phone on 01732
355626. You can also inquire by fax to 01732 358214.
Timberline was established in 1980 and the core business was
to find rare woods for musical instrument makers. Up to that
time the current proprietor of the business had been building
musical instruments as an amateur, student and professional
luthier for 10 years.
We will then confirm availability and the price including the
delivery method of your choice including vat.
The minimum value for mail order consignments is
£25.00 plus carrier plus vat. There is no minimum order
value for personal callers.
You are welcome to visit to make your own selection. Please
call us first to check that specialist staff will be available to you.
Please note our opening hours are 9.30 – 5.30 Monday to
Friday and 9.00 – 1.00 Saturday.
The prices in this catalogue do not include vat.
Orders are sent after payment has been made.
We accept card payments. To pay by card please call us on
01732 355626 with your card details. Card details are not
retained and any paper copies of card transactions are shredded
for security.
For the entire history of the company Timberline staff
members have been drawn from the musical instrument and
cabinet making trades. This means that a skill set has evolved
to produce tonewoods for guitar makers to an exceptionally
high standard.
Over time the business has grown and has evolved to supply
speciality timbers to many other wood crafts. We regularly
supply bespoke furniture makers, Archery bow makers,
Antique restorers, Woodturners, Woodcarvers and many other
fine woodworking crafts through our ‘Decorative and
Specialist timbers’ catalogue. Please request this catalogue or
download it from the website for information about our
lumber stocks and other items
From the Forest
We can also be paid by bank transfer. Our account is with
Lloyds bank plc, sort code 30 99 66, account no 00318554.
Please contact us first regarding payments from abroad so that
we can provide you with our IBAN numbers and swift code
and advise of any bank charges that might need to be met.
We can also accept payment by cheque. Please make your
cheque payable to ‘Timberline’. Cheque payments take a few
days to clear and this payment method should not be used if
speed is of the essence.
Carriage is charged at cost. Here is a guide to prices.
Overnight courier is £9.95 plus vat for up to 20kg and 30p per
kg. thereafter for mainland Britain and most of Scotland.
A three/four day delivery service is also available at lower cost.
To the Guitar maker
Delivery to Northern Ireland and Scottish highlands will be at a
higher cost and overnight delivery may not be possible. These
deliveries will be quoted individually.
Foreign parcels can be quoted individually. Most EC parcels
are good value for money, e.g. 20kg to France is £22.00 plus
vat. Please note that some items listed cites appendix II such
as Honduras Mahogany and Cocobolo are only offered within
the EC due to the high administration cost of licencing an
export to a country outside the EC.
Small items will be sent by letter post at the appropriate rate.
