Any good for fretboards? It seems like a good wood for it. It is quite rare and from south america. Here's a picture of some i have. |

I think that anything hard enough, that is stable and not too porus, can be use for FB... Francis |

The pores will not matter if the wood is hard & stable. Look at Braz. & Indian-they are loaded with pores. Let us all know how it works out please. Mike |
