The Ebony Project takes you there to learn more about the people, the challenges, the work, and the improvements being made in the sourcing and processing of West African ebony (<i>Diospyros crassifloria<\/i>\u00a0Hiern), a wood you\u2019ll find on every Taylor guitar. We hope you come away with a deeper appreciation for the important steps that begin the process of bringing those guitars to life. You\u2019ll also learn more about the lives and families you are supporting when you buy a Taylor guitar, along with Taylor\u2019s efforts to cultivate a more sustainable future in Cameroon through a scalable replanting program.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221;
