Responsibility
The wood comes from one of three sources:
1. Douglas fir from the hull of the Western Flyer, considered by many to be the most famous fishing boat in the world. John Steinbeck, Ed "Doc" Ricketts and crew sailed this 77-foot sardine boat into the Sea of Cortez in Baja California, Mexico in 1940. The following year, Steinbeck published his book, The Log from the Sea of Cortez, about the adventure. Learn more about this amazing boat and Ventana's use of its wood.
2. Guitar offcuts from Santa Cruz Guitar Company production. Each is made from a different species of exotic wood and many have an inlay of guitar purfling.
3. Entropy Resins bio-based epoxy drippings collected after the glassing of Ashley Lloyd Surfboards by Locus Surfboards.
4. Ukule production offcuts from TYDE Music in Lake Tahoe. The wood is prehistoric kauto from a peat bog on the North Island of New Zealand. The wood has been carbon dated at 45,000 years old!
We've also included a key ring and an upcycled, paracord leash cord offcut from the production of Ventana Khordz Mugs.
