And, after smoothing that out, there wouldn't have been the 3/4" thickness I need. But the curly maple they had had nice figure but had deep planer chipout. This is their satellite store and the selection is a fraction of their big store. Our stop at the hardwood store struck out on curly maple. But, I still can't resist buying by emotion. I just have to keep reminding myself that a piece of wood that appeals to me for it's beauty may not work in concert with other woods that do the same. I had Pao Ferro ("bolivian rosewood") on the brain.that's what I happen to use most often. The higher string tension of guitars really tears them apart - violin 50 pounds steel string guitar 150 pounds plus!You're right, Chris. The violin family is not really built in that robust a manner compared to guitars, it is the string tension that creates the two very different life expectancies - decades for guitars and centuries for violins. The higher string tension of guitars really tears them apart - violin 50 pounds steel string guitar 150 pounds plus!Įast Indian Rosewood or Dalbergia Latifolia is most certainly a real rosewood! It may be grown on tea plantations to provide shade but Dalbergia is Dalbergia. I have used both species in my guitar endeavours and I would judge that they are very close in all working/wearing properties - except that BR smells like maraschino cherries when you work with it. BR has been banned from trade for a long long time and any guitar wearing it is old and likely worn. The specific gravity of both Brazilian and East Indian Rosewoods is 0.85, I would suggest that the BR boards that you see in your shop that are worn are not worn because they have not faired as well as EI, quite simply they are on older instruments and are more worn due to age and useage. Not a real rosewood, but very nice.East Indian Rosewood or Dalbergia Latifolia is most certainly a real rosewood! It may be grown on tea plantations to provide shade but Dalbergia is Dalbergia. I wonder if east indian will fair better. Every older guitar I get in my shop with brazillian is horribly worn.
