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.

Lebbeck is a tropical hardwood that belongs to the Fabaceae family, and is found natively in India and South East Asia, but is now cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical areas around the world. Lebbeck Wood is known by many names including Indian Siris, East Indian Walnut, Broome Raintree, Lebbeck or Lebbek, Shak Shak, Silver Raintree, Frywood, Koko or Kokko, and Woman's Tongue Tree, amongst others. The name Frywood comes from the sound the seeds make when rattling in the seed pods, which can sound like frying food, and several other common names also play off the noise made by the seed pods such as Shak Shak and various Raintree name variants. Lebbeck is commonly grown as a shade or ornamental tree around the world, as well as for commercial timber harvesting in some regions. Lebbeck was traditionally used for several medicinal purposes including as an astringent to treat coughs or respiratory issues, the bark to treat inflammation, and as a cure for migraine headaches.

Lebbeck Wood can range from a light yellowish brown to golden brown color, and features a beautiful spotty, porous, deeply textured grain, and good natural luster. In terms of its physical properties, Lebbeck is a dense and hard wood, with a Janka hardness rating of over 1,300 pounds. This means it is highly resistant to denting, scratching, and general wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for guitar picks.

Although admired in Asia since ancient times, Lebbeck is becoming increasingly popular around the world in recent years. Because of the wide geographic area it is grown in, relatively fast growing time compared to some other hardwoods, plentiful natural supply, and the fact that much of the Lebbeck Wood harvested is intentionally farmed in a cycle of harvesting and replanting, Lebbeck could be considered a very environmentally friendly and sustainable species of hardwood. Lebbeck Wood has traditionally been used for a wide variety of purposes including decorative wood carvings, furniture, fine cabinetry, ornamental boxes, and more.
