Timber Heritage, Modern Precision

At Timber & Brass Studio, we give new life to forgotten artifacts. Each cigar box guitar begins with a carefully selected vintage container, its history whispering through its aged wood. We pair these with seasoned cedar and mahogany necks, bench-built to resonate with rich acoustic tones.

This dedication extends to our sculptural wooden purses and laser-etched art, all crafted with the same reverence for material and form. Our process honors the past while embracing the future, ensuring every instrument is not just played, but felt.

Crafted with Intent: A Four-Step Process

Timber Selection

Laser Etching

Fret Dressing

Hand-Rubbed Finish

We meticulously choose reclaimed cedar and mahogany, valuing character and acoustic potential. Each piece tells a story before it becomes art.

High-precision laser technology carves intricate designs, adding depth and narrative to every surface without compromising integrity.

Our bench-built frets are carefully installed and dressed by hand, ensuring flawless playability and a smooth, tactile feel.

Multiple layers of hand-rubbed lacquer bring out the wood's natural luster, providing a durable, heirloom-quality finish that deepens with age.

Every box carries a former life; every purse is joined to last a lifetime.
