Trusting torrified spruce
Hey fellow builders. I bought some torrified adi spruce bracewood. I'm not convinced that it is as trustworthy as my non torrified adi bracewood. Tapping on an equally sized hunk of torrified spruce rings with similar volume and sustain as tapping on the nontorrified hunk of adi. It's clear that the torrified wood has been through a lot and I'm wondering if any damage was done that would affect the long term durability of a top brace under stress. Are the benefits of torrified braces worth whatever uncertainty such treatment brings. If anyone uses this bracewood and could comment on the risk/benefit outcomes I would love to hear about it.
