About The Material These Picks Are Made From:

Wooden plectrums have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of stringed instruments millennia ago.

Beech wood is a genus of deciduous trees found natively in temperate parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. Beech is a popular hardwood known for its strength, durability, and attractive appearance.

One of the most notable qualities of Beech wood is its hardness. It is one of the hardest woods available, with a Janka hardness rating of 1300. This makes it an excellent choice for guitar picks as it can withstand contact with metal strings more readily than other species. Beech wood generally has a light, pale color, with a subtle grain pattern that adds character and depth to the wood. Additionally, Beech wood has a fine and uniform texture, making it easy to work with and allowing it to be brought to a very smooth finish. Because of these properties it is widely used for flooring, cabinetry, and other wood products where one needs a wood that is both visually appealing and tough.

As with numerous other species of wood, it is common to steam Beech wood before its final use, because this process enhances its natural color and often gives it a darker or richer tone. As with all trees the older heartwood towards the center of the tree is a darker color, and the younger sapwood is lighter. We offer our Beech wood guitar picks in both lighter and darker variants.

Beech trees grow relatively quickly compared to some other hardwoods, and are a readily available species that is frequently harvested and replanted, which makes it an environmentally friendly and sustainable type of wood.
