Podcast 285: Building a Guitar for President Carter

Twenty years ago, former president Jimmy Carter planted a grove of Paulownia trees on his Georgia property. Wood from those trees was recently harvested and, thanks to the work of World Tree and FJ contributor/luthier Todd Lunneborg, some of those trees are currently being turned into some rather special guitars and ukuleles. On this week’s FJ Podcast, we talk to Lunneborg and acclaimed acoustic guitar maker Jason Kostal, the first luthier to finish an instrument with wood from Carter's grove.
