I strung it up yesterday-sounds good

Old growth Western  Red Cedar, 443 growth grains across the bout.

Spalted Maple from the Fountain District tree.  Beautiful wood but very soft.  Difficult to sand and finish I laminated back and sides with mahogany veneer to strengthen it.

Spalted wood makes in a very light instrument, striking in appearance but perhaps delicate in strength, I am pleased with its sound probably thanks to its Cedar soundboard and laminated body.
