Tonewoods, Tools, and other Related Items Most of the special tonewoods and tools I have for sale are from my own old stock, gathered for over 50 years, and beyond my current needs. All are mature, aged, selected for highest quality from reputable sources in Germany, Austria, Bosnia and Switzerland, and are ready to use with confidence. Some items ( indicated) are from the studios accumulated by the late David Rubio, who was renowned for only using the very best, and also a quantity from the workshops of the late Michael Heale of Guildford. Both of these makers I knew well.
