I made a couple guitars out of this. I never get sick of looking at the grain. Beautiful stuff. Never stain it directly, or it looses its shimmer, (Chatoyance). Clear coat it first, then add color.

I can confirm that your process is valid. The science behind it is accurate. David D Bunker grew up in Forks WA, and was building guitars before we were born. I worked with Dave for 30 years and I remember him talking about the mountains in Port Angeles and how he used to get the wood out and then dry it. I still have some of that wood in stock that I have been aging for about 25 years now. I’m gonna be using it here in Nashville shortly making some very special guitars. I will definitely be in touch with you when I need to purchase some more woods..

Great explanation, if I were to use seasoned flat sawn wood for the top or back of an acoustic guitar would it be as stable as seasoned quartersawn?

@kimball_hardwoods 5 ай бұрын

Well the verdict is out on that one. Sometimes yes and sometimes no. It’s specific to that piece of wood, how it was dried, how it was Stored, and how long it was stored. However the thing we can see is stored up tension. Also just the rule of thumb is thin highly figured wood regardless of type of cut is unstable

@darkJohnSmith 6 ай бұрын

Does anyone know what's going on when the grain gets really fat and wide, and will develop these repetitive cracks or checks in an unusual direction? I've seen different kinds of woods do this. Sapele. Fir. Happens in otherwise straight grain. If you cut near that area it will pinch really bad.

as I experienced on thickness planner for curly woods, you can use very high speed planner with 3 blades, at least 6000 rpm, rake angle of cutter head have not be more than 15deg but those cutter heads with 10-12 are excellent for the curly woods, another way is olique planning but this needs wide span planners, and the last and the BEST WAY is using wide belt sander instead of thickness planners,

@sinaTonewood 7 ай бұрын

absolutely true, it is due to the sinus path of grains within thickness of boards, not usual tear out,

To me, the worst maple defect of all is spalting. (a corruption of the word "spoiled"). The old timers knew what they were talking about when they called moldy, rotting maple spoiled.

Thank you Mr. Kimball. Can you tell me how to look at rough cut, select or better hard maple and determine if it has some curl? Thanks

@kimball_hardwoods 7 ай бұрын

Easiest way is the side grain. If you are looking at a rough cut bundle pack it will stand out as most of the wood in those packs are Flat Sawn leaving the Side grain of the rough cut lumber on the quarter sawn side. Quarter sawn curly maple is more vibrant and easier to detect in the rough than flat sawn curly maple. Most lumber produced by large mills will be band mill cut with a traditional resaw blade. Decerning the difference between saw marks and curl is the key. Band saw mark are for the most part perfectly straight. Look for curl or marks that are not straight or consistent. If the lumber is rotary cut meaning with a circular saw blade it can me more difficult to detect because the saw marks left emulate curl pattern in wood

The depth of figure varies tree by tree-Anywhere from superficial figure only going in an inch or two all the way to trees that produce figure all the way through the heartwood
