Hi All,

What woods do most people use for bridge plates? I have heard people touting both soft and hard woods, and was wondering if there was a general consensus?
 
I use hardwoods because I usually build with a string through bridge design and I want the increased wear resistance of a hardwood.

yep. I do have thoughts of doing a composite bridge patch with spruce to lighten things up but with something hard enough to resist string wear on the patch itself
