just went wood hunting with ah via musicom. had a blast!
the entrance to storage room 1
mahogany planks being dried
after going through tons of wood i settled on a log of kamagong
7 feet x 11" x 6"
the plank was huge and heavy (cost me a pretty penny too
)
resawed. the first couple of plates:
the yield: 20 plates and then some. good for about 4-5 back and side sets
i smell harp guitar
fretboard blanks. good for about 12-14 fretboards
bookmatched sets:
one thing that entered my mind, it looks (and smells) like malaysian blackwood. there are many sub species of asian ebony and i really think this is a type of malaysian blackwood. its more olive in color than brown. but i could be wrong, who cares they're all mine!!!!
