Jamie’s Bog Oak/LS OM final pictures
The major players in this OM guitar are solid black Bog Oak and a really striking Luck Strike redwood top.
The top has such pronounced silking that it’s better described as having micro curl. Incredible tap tone. Bell like. The back is black with typical well quartered oak markings. Very dense. The sides are likewise black. We could use bog oak for the fingerboard as well.

How does bog oak compare to regular oak?

Thanks Mark Your notorious good taste makes me appreciate your thumbs up all the more It’s a little harder than regular oak. That’s probably due to all the mineral deposits that also darkened the color.

Love the contrast between the top and back, plus the movement going on within the woods. I'm going to enjoy watching this develop!

Yes! This wood combination is intriguing, very much in line with what is said about redwood.

I am so excited that this build is finally happening. Thanks everyone for following!
Regarding "what would Mark do", that Desert Ironwood burl he has been using is pretty great, isn't it? |

I’m thinking the amboyna burl would be a better color match for what’s going on. Maybe If I had any Paul, I would

Having held, seen, tapped, heard and swooned over both these sets of wood first hand, I can only say congratulations to Jamie, this build will be nothing short of spectacular.
