Wanted to share a build with you that we found rewarding.
We acquired some alternative-alternative wood last year, and finally got to put it into a guitar.
A little-known species called Kelobra, or Guanacaste.
The trees grow quickly and become massive, which is good news for any woodworking discipline.
The timber is lightweight, with an attractive interlocking grain figure.
Looks something like a cross between walnut & Koa.
Sounds like that, too.
Bends realllly easily on top of all the other plusses.
Only downside(s): monster pores, and the unavoidable tendancy to provoke coughing spasms.
No real alergic reactions to this stuff, just want to cough when it's being sanded.
Of course, a good dust mask eliminates all problems--except the pores. That's every man for himself.
Top is an almost "blistered" piece of bearclaw Sitka.
Rosette is Sapodilla, the wood favored by the Aztecs to support their pyramids internally. (Should support that soundhole alright.)
Bindings are Macassar ebony.
Thanks for looking,
Steve
So many timbers on this planet.
