wolfman6 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 Would anyone be able to ID this wood? Quote
Prostheta Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 Difficult under all that sealer. Anything else to go on other than a photo? Could be Alder. Is it light? Soft? Quote
wolfman6 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Posted April 5, 2013 Its off a 67 mustang bass. Its a resto project I just started. Quote
WezV Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 its definitely alder, both because of how it looks and the history of the instrument Quote
wolfman6 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Posted April 5, 2013 Cool, does alder require the grain to be sealed? Quote
Prostheta Posted April 5, 2013 Report Posted April 5, 2013 It is generally not filled as it is a pretty closed pore structure however all woods benefit from sealing if you are after a smooth finish. It just allows for a far more predictable substrate for primer/paint to adhere. Quote
wolfman6 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Posted April 5, 2013 Awsome! Thanks for all the help so far. You guys rock! Quote
