I've been thinking about possible uses for some East Asian woods that are becoming common here in the US such as ginkgo or paulownia and how they might work out in ukuleles. Does anyone have any experience with them? I know they use paulownia to make Asian zithers such as koto. I also understand ginkgo is soft so it might be useful for tops like cedar is. I'm open to any thoughts on the matter. I might be able to get some ginkgo but it would be a log. Might take a while to become useful. Maybe by then my skill at building will be up to par?
