Today on Tommy's Tonewoods
Proving there's nothing plane about it, we compare London Plane to two of its American cousins; American Sycamore and Sinker American Sycamore.
Join us as we go deep into the murky depths of sinker wood and what makes it so special as a tonewood.

Michael that’s so kind! Unfortunately it’s quite a niche subject I think, but it’s not about the views and subs, I just like to make useful and interesting content to help and inspire. It also facilitates my wood buying habit 🤣

I have a semi-hollow electric guitar with a heavily-arched top made from two pieces of London plane and a one piece English walnut back - also very heavily arched. Rims are walnut from the same tree.

Great Video. Looks similar to Australian Lacewood from 'Australian Guitar Timber' in Queensland milled by David Linton.
@TomSandsGuitars
@TomSandsGuitars 6 месяцев назад
Yeah very similar in terms of the medullary ray. Looks great, I think I have some but it was sold to me as ‘sheoak’

Nice! Thanks Tom. Sycamore is one of those woods that initially caught my eye as striking, but because it doesnt have a big following I haven't searched any out. (Yeah, embarrassing). Hope you and the crew have a great holiday!

Beautiful wood, with amazingly deep and smooth resonance. Would you be using it for the back and sides, or could it be used as the soundboard?
@TomSandsGuitars
@TomSandsGuitars 6 месяцев назад
I think, as someone else suggested, it could be great to use as both together in one instrument!

@jeremypappenfus4662 6 месяцев назад
Seems like a wood that you can do similar things like with mahogany? Top, back, sides? Imagine a full guitar made of this, it would be pretty Syc… sorry, someone had to.

@@TomSandsGuitars I know I've in other comments on your videos, but I'm glad to see guitar builders branching out from the traditional tropical tonewoods. I hope that in years to come there will be more guitars made from more sustainably sourced woods. From what I've seen, there are plenty of alternatives for backs, sides and necks. But I'm not aware of any termperate zone woods that could be used as a substitute for ebony or rosewood for fretboards and bridges.

Beautiful wood! But I am now soooo confused. I realize that London Plane and English Sycamore are different from both each other and their US counterparts. But would you expect London Plane and English Sycamore to give you similar tonal properties? Both woods are gorgeous! (full disclosure: I have a TM in English Sycamore/European Spruce from Rosie at Turnstone that is very pretty in both appearance and tone🥰) Thanks, John Gig Harbor, WA
@TomSandsGuitars
@TomSandsGuitars 6 месяцев назад
Hi John, yeah I’d say they’re pretty similar tonally as a function of their comparable mechanical properties 🙏
