Tropical wood
quality from local forests
A new wood treatment technology that lends the desirable properties of tropical woods to even locally sourced timber.
Through the patented Blokkwood treatment technology, we are able to provide a quality alternative for instrument making. We are talking about a special and gentle heat treatment process where the wood, alongside favorable changes, remains intact, retaining its elasticity and naturalness.
As a result of the treatment, the most significant properties of the wood such as sound, moisture content, resistance to humidity changes, dimensional stability, strength, flexibility, and color are improved to their advantage.
One of the most exciting applications of the technology is in instrument wood.
Among other things, you can expect the following changes
Among other things, you can expect the following changes
- Improved sound quality
- Accelerated yet gentle aging of the wood
- Reduced weight
- Increased stability and strength
- Lower moisture content
- Reduced moisture absorption
An affordable alternative to tropical instrument woods
The Blokkwood treatment takes 8-12 hours. This allows traditional woods to become usable for instrument makers almost immediately.
According to instrument makers’ experience, instead of resting the material for many years, it can be used for instrument making within 3-6 months after treatment.
With Blokkwood, we offer a real alternative to various premium instrument woods, replacing them with lower-quality, specially treated timber.
