Choosing choice wood for the instrument
Sides and back of highly figured Australian Blackwood and a soundboard of Sonic Tested Lutz Spruce from Pacific Rim Tonewood, the best of the best
And after a bit of work here is the result, a lovely baritone
The figured maple binding will work nicely with the figure on the Blackwood
Now begins the fun job of fairing everything down to smooth and flush with plane, scraper and sandpaper
