erikbojerik Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Isabelle has dropped into my lap a 70 ft oak (white oak) and some big branches from an old cherry. Some of the cherry is even large enought to make a few 2- or 3-piece bodies, and I know a guy who can dry out some slabs for me. The question is...how would they sound? Has anyone made a solid-body out of oak or cherry? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setch Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Snag the cherry - it's good stuff. Oak is also useable, but not so popular or well regarded. I've got a shed full of cherry airdrying from a gale a few years back. Should be dry by 2006! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
