Very beautiful combo. I think one practically needs a degree in dendrology to understand how this is coming together.
Mark can you list the various types of wood that will be in the final product? It's fun to watch you work your art in this forum.

This guitar will likely be like your other builds...amazingly pleasing to the eye and also to the tonal pallet. I'll be interested to watch it develop!

Hey Mark,
Your build threads have been great. I'm really liking the aesthetics of the woods you are using on this cedar/walnut Josie. Would you notice much tonal difference, or build differently, in cedar vs redwood used with walnut in an OMish body? Or, do you tend to use cedar vs redwood depending on what type of walnut you use (black, bostogne, claro)?

It's certainly my pleasure to work with these woods. The variety is endless and quite inspirational! Quote:
I find for the way I build, that Redwood wants to be a little brighter and have a bit more overtones then Cedar. I would more quickly match Redwood up with a softer Claro than the harder Bastogne. That all depends on what we're going for though. Generally, if I felt I needed to bump up the treble over what I'd expect from cedar, Redwood would be a consideration. Sorry, that's a bit vague but I guess it should be like that in the world of generalizations. Mark

Now a job for a true dendrologist (or in this case luthier extraordinaire). Can Mark state the region were each of the woods came from? When people ask me about this guitar I will want to entertain (or bore depending on if you are true guitar enthusiast) them with all the details.

Bastogne Walnut- California Western Red Cedar- Oregon from an old growth deadwood tree Limba- Eastern Africa- The ship bringing it in was delayed at sea for a year due to Somalian pirates African Blackwood- Speaks for itself Brazilian Rosewood- Speaks for itself Spalted Tamarind- Asia Zebrawood- Africa Maple- USA Black and White Ebony- Laos Spanish Cedar- Doesn't speak for itself. It's from Central America and it's not cedar Mahogany- Honduras Black Walnut- From a wood mill in Eastern PA that closed in 1850 Sitka- Alaska Adirondack Spruce- Adirondack Mtns USA Swiss "moon" spruce- Switzerland (above 3,000ft) Indian Rosewood- Speaks for itself So it comes from all over the place!

Do you have any wood from Australia or New Zealand in your stash?
That would pretty much make it a clean sweep.
