| Post subject: | lining |
I finally got my copy of cumpianos book after over a month's wait. i just leafed through some of it, and i'm wondering about the lining, he says that mahogany is used for lining, is there a reason for using mahogany, or can just about anything be used? I'm going to make solid mdf bending forms, and had thought about routing a channel in one of the sides for laminate-bending the linings. Is there a reason for not using spruce(or any other wood) for this purpose? |

Spruce is fine. Mahogany is fine. There are many good choices. basswood, redwood, cedar etc. |

If you haven't yet, you might want to check out Cumpiano's website. He's posted a number of corrections/additions to the book. He's even abandoned the pinned neck described in the book and switched to a bolt-on, which he describes on his website. |

He goes into it in the section titled 'LININGS' which is a couple pages before 'PROCEDURE: MAKING KERFED LININGS'. In my book this is on pages 198-199. I like the smell of Spanish cedar. |
