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 World Tree and FJ\xa0contributor/luthier Todd Lunneborg, some of that wood harvest is currently being turned into some rather special guitars.

On this week\u2019s Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk to Lunneborg and acclaimed acoustic guitarmaker Jason Kostal about the project. Kostal recently completed his guitar featuring the Paulownia from Carter's grove and, thanks to a bit of a luck and some social distancing, he was able to show the former president his finished instrument.\xa0It's an unforgettable moment and a great story that we think you'll love.\xa0

See pics of the finished guitar and of Carter with it here.
