About The Material These Picks Are Made From:

Wooden plectrums have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of string instruments millennia ago.

Chinaberry Wood comes from a species of deciduous tree found natively in India, Southeast Asia, and Oceania, although it has been introduced to many other regions around the world. Chinaberry Wood is part of the Mahogany family, which includes the 3 true or genuine Mahogany species from the Americas that the family is most commonly associated with. Chinaberry Wood is known by many names including its scientific name Melia Azedarach, Persian Lilac, Indian Lilac, Pride Of India, Bead-Tree, Cape Lilac, Syringa Berrytree, Drek, and White Cedar, amongst others.

As part of the Mahogany family Chinaberry Wood features many of the wonderful traits of its better known American relatives, including a similar attractive grain pattern, and is often used as an alternative material for Honduran Mahogany. In terms of its physical properties, Chinaberry is classified as a hardwood, with a Janka hardness rating of around 1,000 pounds. This means it is a strong and lost lasting wood, resistant to denting, scratching, and general wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for guitar picks.

Although it has a long history of use in Asia, Chinaberry Wood is becoming an increasingly popular wood globally and is especially known for its beautiful and distinctive grain. Chinaberry trees were introduced to areas outside of their native range centuries ago as ornamental and shade trees, and were found to grow extremely well in hot regions. Chinaberry is a rapidly growing tree, and they flourished to such a degree in Mexico and the American Southwest that some consider them an invasive species in those regions at this point.

Because of the wide geographic area it is grown in, relatively fast growing time compared to some other hardwoods, and the plentiful natural supply, Chinaberry Wood could be considered a very environmentally friendly and sustainable species of hardwood. Chinaberry Wood has traditionally been used for a wide variety of purposes including decorative wood carvings, furniture, veneers, ornamental boxes, and more.
