About wood roasting

The wood, after a period of about 2 years of seasoning, was subjected to a process of slow vacuum drying to a moisture content of approx. 7%. After drying, it was roasted in an anaerobic chamber at a temperature up to 160 °C. This treatment is a technically accelerated process of long-time aging of wood, which is aimed at increasing the hardness, stiffness and stability of wood. In addition, the hardened wood structure and closed pores make it difficult to absorb moisture from the air, a moisture is not indifferent to any wood. This is particularly important in the case of maple wood in various varieties, which is unstable in changing conditions (temperature, humidity). The side effect of the baking process (for some, a great plus) is the darkening of the wood and the characteristic smell, reminiscent of roasted coffee grains. The darkening and the smell are more intense, the higher roasting temperature is. About the tone, roasted wood theoretically only gains, and whether it really is ... this one will find out who will check it. Baked wood is especially recommended for necks and soundboards in musical instruments. We liked the baked wood in the Woodforguitar. "Roasted wood"… this is it.

Basswood - similarly to poplar and alder, it occurs in many countries of the world, mainly in the temperate zones. For years, it has been used in the production of musical instruments. It is a frequent choice for the body in an electric guitar, designed for playing fast, heavy, heavy metal music. The sound of basswood is broad, quite warm, the wood reacts very quickly acoustically, causing the extracted sounds to be selective. Indicated to play in harmony with a maple (neck) and ebony, in addition as a fingerboard. Such a set does not forgive inexperienced musicians, but in the right hands is a great tool for creating strong, precise music.
