The Moonwood Spruce is, as the name suggests harvested at a specific time of night and year, makiing this an extremely rare tonewood. Felled in a specific alpine region in Austria this wood grows at particular seal level height, and is harvested at a waning moon, when the moisture content is optimum, a practice which has been producing the world’s finest spruce for over 200 years.
