Myrtlewood Lumber

Myrtlewood, native to the coastal regions of Oregon and California, is a rare hardwood treasured for its strength and dramatic color variety. From creamy sapwood to olive, gray, and chocolate heartwood, each board is one-of-a-kind. Myrtlewood is prized for turning bowls, custom tables, musical instruments, and decorative projects where character matters. Dense and durable, it finishes beautifully with a natural sheen.  Myrtlewood is truly a domestic, exotic wood.  Compare with Koa Lumber.
