Botanical Name: Phoebe puwenensis

Average Dried Weight: 35-40 lbs/ft³ (560-640 kg/m³)

Acoustic Properties & Overview:
Puwen Phoebe is an elegant and structurally stable tonewood that offers a balanced acoustic profile. It leans toward a warmer, more rounded tone with smooth mids and clear, bell-like highs. While slightly less dense than traditional Rosewoods, its excellent resonance and sustain make it a fantastic choice for both acoustic backs and sides and custom electric bodies.

Workability & Appearance:
Visually distinct, Puwen Phoebe is known for its beautiful, glowing golden-yellow to olive-brown coloration, which deepens gracefully as it ages. The grain is typically straight but can exhibit subtle, attractive interlocking patterns with a very fine, even texture. It is a joy to work with, machining cleanly and taking finishes remarkably well, allowing builders to achieve a brilliant, glass-like surface that highlights its natural chatoyancy.
