Torrefied maple is solid wood that has been seasoned and dried in an autoclave resulting in a stable, smooth and durable surface. A process used in 8th C Viking boat building and coveted for instrument makers of this day. The process darkens the maple to a honey toned patina which naturally influences the composition through its materiality.
