Woods of the world....
Having said I would tend to use German spruce for the top, I've been trying to think of ways to spice it up a little and also get the "woods of the world" theme in. Despite its strength and tonal qualities, spruce is actually kinda plain. So I had the idea of creating a rosette with a "collage wheel" made up of wood pieced from all over the world. I'm thinking the rosette could include about 18 pieces, give or take a few. I've started collecting pieces and have come up with about ten good candidates, like these
(maple)
(sapele)
(santos)
(golden IRW)
(walnut)
Some of them are local woods, while others are "exotics" - all in keeping with the theme. Anyway I was wondering if the others have an idea what kinds of wood they want to use for the fun build and whether you'd like to send me some small pieces (about 2x4 inches) that I could try and integrate into the "woods of the world" rosette. I can't promise I'll be able to fit everything in, but I certainly would try my best.
