unclej Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 if i'm not mistaken it has very similar characteristics to asian mahogany. i've never worked with it but i know that it's been used to make furniture and wood turnners like it because of it's workability.

Primal Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 It seems like I remember a discussion about monkey pod on the MIMF, and they pretty much decided that it would be suitable as a guitar wood (to the best of my recollection).

joej Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Careful ... I remember some woodworkers forum talking about some bad reactions to monkey pod dust. Make sure to use dust mask, clean up the dust, etc.etc -- joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
