Tonewood Grading

Tonewood Data

 

 

Tonewood grading is principally determined by the degree of colour and figure. Most tonewoods within their respective species grouping are reasonably consistent for tone.  I have included a set of images to demonstrate the increasing level of fiddleback in Tasmanian Blackwood as an example of this process.
