Timbers with a sustainable timbre

The two videos are especially enjoyable and informative.

Unfortunately we still haven’t got the tonewood narrative going back to the tree growers yet. It is still about the players, the makers and the sawmillers. The trees just magically exist in the current narrative.
Where are the people planting and managing these tonewood resources?
Enjoy!
