About The Material These Picks Are Made From:
Wooden plectrums have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of string instruments millennia ago.
Rubber Wood comes from the Hevea Brasiliensis species of tree found natively in the Amazon Basin in South America, although it has been introduced to tropical regions around the planet. The Rubber Tree is part of the Euphorbiaceae family, and is the world's main source of natural latex based rubber.
Rubber Wood is a light colored wood, usually from pale blonde to medium tan in hue. It has a pleasing straight grain pattern and an open, porous texture. In terms of its physical properties, Rubber Wood is classified as a medium density hardwood, with a Janka hardness rating of a bit under 1,000 pounds. This means it is a strong and lost lasting wood, resistant to denting, scratching, and general wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for guitar picks.
Rubber trees are originally native to the Amazon rainforest where they were used to create natural rubber by the native inhabitants. After the discovery of the Americas, and especially after rubber vulcanization was invented in 1839, there was an extremely high demand for the natural latex produced by the trees. There was a massive expansion of rubber plantations in South America, and subsequently Rubber Trees were also transplanted around the world, where they were found to grow well in many tropical parts of Asia and Oceania. After a blight destroyed many of the plantations in South America in the early 20th century Asia became the main region producing natural latex, and it remains so to this day.
Rubber trees grow in hot, wet environments, can reach heights of up to 140 feet, and reach maturity faster than many other hardwoods. Because of the relatively fast growth, and the fact that Rubber trees have multiple uses, latex production during the prime of the trees life, and then seeing a second life being used for the timber, Rubber Wood is considered one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable types of tropical hardwoods available. Although in the past the timber was overlooked as a mere byproduct of latex production, Rubber Wood is becoming an increasingly popular wood globally in recent years. It has become an in demand wood for use in furniture, cabinetry, cuttings boards, and other specialty wood items.
