Hi Wayne,
The guy from csiro. that is doing the research into Australian Timbers as Tone Woods, is Andrew Morrow.
The research is taking abit longer but should be finished soon.
Best regards,
Bob,

Im rediculously excited about the results. Cant wait!

Apparently there are some regional projects into Aussie timbers and new uses. One of them was into musical timbers, but from wandoo and sheok. Not sure this is new (Stu??).

Bob do you know if there is any revised date of release?

Hi Austen, I spoke with Andrew Morrow on Tuesday.
The hold up is, that he is waiting for Matton guitars to finish buiding 4 guitars build from all Australian Timbers he it should be any time soon.
Best regards,
Bob,

Thanks a lot Bob. I’m really keen on making guitars with purely Australian tonewoods, so this is going to be like a dream document to me. It's really good of Maton to come to the table on this one. Kudos to them as well as Andrew.
Cheers,
Austen

Thanks for the info, seems like its more than just me thats interested.
