Here's a brief description of myrtle wood I found on Goodall Guitar's site.

Myrtle

Origin: Coastal southwest Oregon and central California

Density: 635 Kg/m3

Characteristics: Heartwood color can be variable, from light orangish brown to gray or olive, sometimes with darker streaks present. Pale sapwood is usually well defined. Figured grain patterns (curly, mottled, burl) are especially valued. Has a color range from blonde (like maple) to brown (like walnut).

Details: Considered a world-class tone wood and is sought after by luthiers. It is visually beautiful and has an extremely balanced and full tone with good over-tone harmonics. Technically not related to true myrtle (Myrtus genus), Myrtle is the only species in the Umbellularia genus, and is in the Lauraceae (Laurel) family. It’s sometimes called California Laurel, and the leaves have a pungent flavor similar to Bay Laurel.
