Thanks for that Bruce. I think the Kingwood from Brazil has much the same properties in regards to gluing. Binding and other trim may be the best use for Kingwood on guitars.

Thanks for posting Joel.
I've closed up the body for this Old Town Farm guitar:
I have the Desert Ironwood binding to bend and I'll need to set up some more for the end graft and arm bevel.
Thanks!
