Members tango Posted February 13, 2006 Members Share Posted February 13, 2006 There seem to be lots of mystery woods coming from the orient these days. Just check out the flooring department at Home Depot. What the heck is "oriental oak"? I think that Carolina may be similar to Nato, another product which is currently popular in guitars constructed in the far east. I have decided that Nato is an acronym for, "Not A Tree, Ollie".

The others rarely exceed 10 m (33 ft) tall. H. monticola is considered by some to be a subspecies of H. carolina (aka H. tetraptera). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members StratGuy22 Posted March 1, 2013 Members Share Posted March 1, 2013 Maybe it's similar to Fine Corinthian Leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
