mattharris75 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I was watching a TV show recently and saw Kirei board for the first time. It's an interesting looking material that is basically a pressed sorghum plywood with the grain exposed on the face. I was curious if anyone had ever seen an example of a guitar or bass made with a Kirei top. It looks like it could be a really cool looking top on a funky modern single-cut bass or some other similar application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattharris75 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I'm guessing the answer is a no on this one? That's a shame. I may have to give Kirei a try next time I build a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotYou Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I just looked it up and there's a place near me that sells it. I'll have to check it out. I love how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see whatever you come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Ross Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Nice looking stuff, and the environmentally sustainable thing can be a big selling point. Bamboo is another interesting material that's gotten a lot of attention lately, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 I look forward to seeing anything built out of that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
