The warm color of cherry makes it the most cherished wood for furniture in our Bluegrass State. Our specialty at Louisville Golf is persimmon clubs, but we are fortunate to be located in a state that produces some of the world's best hardwoods. The Kentucky Coffee, our state tree, produces one of the the rarest and most beautiful putters we have ever produced. It is a true taste of Kentucky. The sugar maple is one of the forest's most beautiful trees.
Sugar maple is hard, close grained and strong.
It is used in the manufacture of may items from musical instruments to gymnasium floor. Because of its cream-white color, maple is one of our favorite woods to laser engrave. It is also available in a mahogany stain. However, persimmon never grows in stands, therefore, it is not readily available for those who desire wood with its unusual properties. From the mid 1950s, for nearly 30 years, persimmon golf club manufacturers fought for their annual allocation of persimmon wood.
