Stella Falone Kitchen Woodcrafts
Responsibly sourced hardwoods.
Beautifully crafted kitchenware.
Stella Falone is a kitchenware brand created by Taylor Guitars co-founder Bob Taylor. It all traces back to 2011, when Taylor Guitars became the co-owner of Crelicam, a small ebony sawmill in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The mill produces ebony parts for musical instruments, such as fingerboards and bridges. Taylor’s goal in owning the mill was to create a more socially responsible value chain for ebony musical instrument components.
In cutting ebony, there are pieces that don’t fit the precise specifications for musical instruments, yet whose beauty and durability make them wonderfully suited for other types of products. And part of Taylor’s commitment to responsible wood use is to minimize waste. As a longtime lover of food, cooking and quality kitchen products, Bob was inspired to use some of this beautiful wood to develop a line of kitchen woodcrafts.
After the wood is cut, the manufacturing process is completed on Taylor’s campus in El Cajon, California. This allows Stella Falone to leverage Taylor’s sophisticated manufacturing resources to produce kitchenware that meets the highest standards of quality and durability. You can read more about Taylor’s work with ebony in Cameroon, including a groundbreaking research and replanting initiative, here.
