About BrankoWood
Logo of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
As part of the Lâg Guitars commitment to the preservation of rare woods in the world, the invention of an Australian scientist came at the right time to allow Lâg to implement a strategy to replace precious woods which have become both rare and expensive.
It took Branko Hermescee two decades of research to produce a revolutionary process that began with the planting of short-cycle pine forests in New Zealand (radiata pine), which comply with the requirements of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
The wood is first dried to only contain 10% moisture and then impregnated in pressure vessels with catalytic and pigmenting agents. The wood is then dried again to reduce its moisture content by 2 or 3% before being impregnated again under pressure, this time with natural resin.
The wood is then compressed to the density of spruce for Pale BrankoWood, rosewood for Brown BrankoWood or ebony for Black BrankoWood, to achieve the same acoustic characteristics.
