For you, sir,So that's how they get rid of poplar that's too shitty to paint.
Poplar, as a hardwood, isn't that great for the things I do (build furniture, general woodworking).
It needs too much filling work right, some kind of wood paste?Poplar, as a hardwood, isn't that great for the things I do (build furniture, general woodworking).
Birdseye is the shit:So that's how they get rid of poplar that's too shitty to paint.
I don't find burl or spalted wood attractive. Quilted maple was interesting until China started using thin veneer to copy the quality work American luthiers were doing.That guy from Keisel explains it well, all the burled stuff is kind of a pain to work with even on basses .
It's odd colored (usually green) and extraordinarily soft (for a hardwood).It needs too much filling work right, some kind of wood paste?
Bird's Eye Maple is kinda 1980s in that application.Birdseye is the shit:
Also, burl:
Flame maple yeah (necks) are my favourite, Ash body with the normal grain pattern, all quarter-sawn if there's a dealI don't find burl or spalted wood attractive. Quilted maple was interesting until China started using thin veneer to copy the quality work American luthiers were doing.
Flame maple is awesome. Birdseye maple boards are awesome.

Cool thanks baba i kinda know they sound warmer and not as much sustain, but again diff instruments and too many design variables change tonality too.It's odd colored (usually green) and extraordinarily soft (for a hardwood).
Super easy to work, and looks decent painted, but bare it's kinda weird.
Bubinga is fun wood to work with. Smells really nice.
