Jon Bell Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hi, I'm planning on making a scratchplate and control cavity covers out of wood. I'm after a very natural look for this guitar so I would like to know which woods need no finish at all. I think that ebony, rosewood and paduak need no finish but I was wondering if theere are any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Most if not all of the Oily Exotic hardwoods don't nees a finish. ie, Cocobolo, Rosewoods, Satine/Bloodwood, Purpleheart, Wenge, Ziricote, Paduak, to name a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Wenge is nice, I used it as the backplate on my guitar, and Warwick uses it for necks. What Scott said seems to pretty much cover it, though, as semi-common woods go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Bocote, but it doesn't really lend itself to many other woods well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
