DracWell Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 How would these be for guitars? Pine (redwood) Betula Pendula (björk in swedish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_M Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 The Swedish word björk is Birch in English, and I've sometimes seen it used where maple is otherwise commonly used. Ruokangas Guitars use figured arctic birch for tops. I've always thought it'd look cool with Masur (type of figuring) Birch used as a top or headstock overlay, but I've never seen it done before.

DracWell Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 so you could say that birch could be used "instead" of maple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
