Mexican Pernambuco (Haematoxylum campechianum) wood Round stick Silver mounted ebony frog Silver winding ~ 81.5 grams About Mexican Pernambuco Haematoxylum campechianum, also known as campeche or logwood, grows naturally in southern Mexico and is often referred to as Mexican pernambuco. It closely matches the playing characteristics of traditional pernambuco, offering comparable strength, flexibility, density, elasticity, and resilience prized by bow makers and musicians alike. Sourced from managed plantations in Mexicos Yucatn Peninsula – originally cultivated for red dye production – this wood provides a sustainable alternative to Brazilian pernambuco. By using an established, responsibly managed resource, we help reduce pressure on endangered forests while maintaining the performance standards players expect.

Each bow is handcrafted using traditional bow-making techniques and is stamped with the name of the master bow maker.
