I'll do further research on this one and update this article. Are they claiming that they invented the composite using flax fibers? It was my impression that the innovation was the proper mixture of materials and the process of manufacturing the composite while still making it sonically well suited as a "tone-material". Making a strong material is one thing. Making it also sound good is another thing. Thanks for your comment. Thanks for the info. I’ll do further research on this one and update this article.

Similar composites based on flax fibers and several bindrs as well as eventual woodflour binders are legion in the wood industry. Handtools often have plastic, metal , laminated comosite, powder composite and wood/plantfiber composite handles. You can find handles made of agglomerated flax fibers, hemp fibers etc. NOTHING NEW, the "innovative" guys in Finland just studied a few patents and modified a few minor details, that's no invention. This is getting tiring because in the music industry everyone is claiming boldly they invented things which were imagined in fact decades ago and sometimes even patented long ago as well....BY OTHERS. Suffices to check on freepatents.com to have a bitter surprise. Flaxwood is a commercial hoax.
