The Carcavelos Mahogany Guitars
We have a limited supply of this special wood for the construction of truly unique instruments, reflecting on the history of this material and taking advantage of its special quality.
Each guitar will bear the Carcavelos Wood Seal, certifying its provenance and relationship to The Guitar Barrel Project. Click here for more about the wood and the project!
Carcavelos #1 Straight and simple. A solid board, with traces of mineral deposits on the top, bearing light markings from the removal process. Seen from the side, the stain left by the wine can be seen deeply penetrating the wood.
