About The Material These Picks Are Made From:

Wooden plectrums have been used traditionally throughout the world since the dawn of stringed instruments millennia ago.

Toddy Palm Wood is a common name used to refer to several species of palm tree that share similar characteristics, mainly that they all produce sweet sap which was traditionally used to produce palm wine or palm sugar, with some also producing edible fruits such as the coconut. Some species commonly called Toddy Palm include the Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera), Palmyra Palm (Borassus Flabellifer), Silver Date Palm (Phoenix Sylvestris), and Areng Palm (Arenga pinnata). Depending on the species in question they tend to range from the Indian subcontinent, all throughout Southeast Asia, as well as the Pacific.

The most striking thing about Toddy Palm Wood is its incredible grain pattern. While the grain is mostly straight, it can have swirls or spots that give it a stunning look. Toddy Palm tends to have a darker, richer coloration than some other types of palm wood. Palm trees are technically neither hardwoods nor softwoods, but are classified as monocots along with bamboo and other grasses. As with other types of palm wood, Toddy Palm is generally a rather hard type of wood, often harder than many traditional hardwoods. This means it is a strong and lost lasting wood, resistant to denting, scratching, and general wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for guitar picks.

Because Toddy Palm trees are extremely common across a wide range, and have a dual use for sap or fruit production as well as for their timber, Toddy Palm Wood can be considered a very environmentally friendly and sustainable species of wood. Although Toddy Palm Wood has long been prized in Asia and the Pacific, it is becoming increasingly popular globally due to its attractive looks and fine physical properties. Toddy Palm Wood has traditionally been used for a wide variety of purposes including musical instruments, decorative wood carvings, fine furniture, ornamental boxes, and other specialty wood items.
