Mahelcaya Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I gatherd some wood from the local supply store . It's a very hard wood with beautifull grain ,and a funky odor when sanding and planning. Dunno what wood it is SEE PIC HERE(Pic in the middle) I am making a laminated neck with it. Anyone know what wood this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 it looks like pine to me, but i may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Luthier Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Yeah, the wider pieces of the laminate look like a soft wood, like Pine, which I DEFINATELY wouldn't use for a neck. The smaller laminations, not sure, we'd need to see more of that wood. Maybe Ipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahelcaya Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 The thin dark , is a mohogany sipo veneer I have , but the larger ones, I don't thinkit's pine wood, because it's not soft at all , I tried bending the single piece , and will not move in , feels like rock maple........ Dunno anyway I'll give it a try, and when I 'll go to cut it at the woodstore, I'll ask the guys, and let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHowell Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Could it be Ash? I have just built a P-bass body from White Ash and a number of people have mistaken it for pine until they pick it up and feel the weight difference.

Mahelcaya Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 BANGKIRAI ! That is what they told me this morning at the wood shop. It is used mostly for outdoor, like fences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
