Hibdon Hardwood, Inc was founded in 1978. We are direct importers of exotic woods, burls, and veneer logs mainly from Guatemala, Belize and Mexico. We import smaller amounts from Spain and Germany. We also purcha se from other U.S. importers. We specialize in making parts for musical instruments, especially acoustic guitars. The process begins by selecting logs in the forests of Central America and Mexico. Sometimes, we supervise the cutting at the sawmills there, but more often the logs are container shipped to St. Louis where we quartersaw the logs into blanks and then resaw the blanks into back and side sets. We make neck blanks, fingerboards, bridge blanks and other parts for guitars. We also supply other instrument makers for fifes, flutes, bagpipes and marimbas among others.
