Brankowood® FSC 100% Brown A Fingerboard 720x90x9 mm
The Brankowood® Brown fingerboard is a sustainable, stable alternative to Indian rosewood. Made from FSC 100% certified Pinus radiata and stabilized with natural resins, it delivers a durable, moisture-resistant material with notably uniform color.
Compatibility by size: the 720 x 90 x 9 mm format works as a blank for 4/5-string bass and is compatible with Bass VI (Fender/Squier and equivalents). A typical VI neck pocket is ≈56 mm; the 90 mm width provides ample heel margin and supports layouts up to 24 frets. The 9 mm thickness allows radiusing across a broad range (e.g., 7.25"–20"+) with enough stock for setup and future leveling. For wide 6-string or demanding multiscale designs, consider 720 x 105 x 9 mm.
This stabilized fingerboard is produced with a controlled moisture reduction to around ≈5%, ensuring excellent dimensional stability under climatic changes. Its density approaches that of Indian rosewood, providing comparable acoustic properties and a firm feel under the fingers.
Thanks to its post-stabilization homogeneity, it offers very friendly workability: easy to sand and finish, with reduced risk of chipping or grain variation.
