Hey guys -
So I am going to try and undertake my first build soon. I will be getting a Stewmac, but I'd really like to use a different sound board.
So I have a couple major questions about this:
Where can I find instrument grade wood for a soundboard?
How do I cut / sand this soundboard to proper shape? (Stemac includes a template for a soundboard, so dimensions are not an issue)
And what should I use as a finish for the soundboard?
I am heavily leaning towards spruce, but I am also thinking of cedar or myrtlewood.
Thanks in advance guys!
