im often asked if i meticulously take the process of selecting wood for my instruments . here is my answer in Photos.
Below is a ridiculously looking Hawaiian Koa billet for those who are willing to pay a little extra. one of my finest koa stash.
perfectly quartered Red Spruce. I tried counting the grains per inch and i lost count at 1/4". you literally need a microscope and a thickness caliper.
an even tighter grains on my Western Red Cedar imported from Lasqueti island off of Vancouver BC.
any less is just not good enough.
ooh that koa and cedar look stunning John. As for that maple soprano coming together, my computer is covered in drool!
