| The legend behind Timeless Timber(tm) Guitars made by
William Paul Jarowsky originated in the late 1800's when the
logging industry was at its highest peak in history. Huge
quantities of wood were harvested at that time and floated by
raft for processing. Many logs sank to the murky depths of the
lakes surrounding the mills, and were forgotten until 1991 when
diver Scott Mitchen uncovered them at the bottom of Lake
Superior. The wood was preserved in pristine condition due
to being entombed in the icy oxygen depleted environment. In
addition, bacteria had stripped all of the impurities, leaving
billions of microscopic chambers throughout the wood. These
chambers produce a rich resonance and tone depth unheard before
now. Forest growth in the 1800's was dense. Trees had intense
competition for sunlight, and therefore grew slowly. Timeless
Timber(tm) is approximately 400 - 600 years in age depending on
the particular piece, and has 40 to 50 growth rings per inch,
compared with wood growing today, which has roughly 4 to 6
growth rings per inch. Learning of Mitchen's find, W. Paul
Jarowsky of Waukesha, Wisconsin, sought and obtained exclusive
guitar production rights to Timeless Timber(tm) for his original
handmade, patented "sculptured soundport system" instruments.
