I have a quite nicely figured Bubinga B & S set (with sapwood), but unfortunately the back plates were poorly resawn (this was settled amicably with the seller). After a little work with the drum sander, it looks like 2.0 mm (0.080 inches) finished thickness is realistically about the best I could get out of one of these back plates. I have been drawn towards either a Classical or an Antes Parlor for my next build anyway, and have a choice of redwood, Caucasian spruce (Picea Orientalis) and (chocolate) WRC tops suitable sized for smaller builds. So, for this back set, which would be your choice, Classical, Parlour, or scrap box? And if it's usable, what top would you pair it with? |

Flamenco! Brace it stiff. X may be good here. Use a thick(stiff) overlay on the inside glue joint. And use it for whatever want too. Mike |
