| Post subject: | Bridge Wood & Tone |
On another thread there was mention of bridge wood & it's effect on tone. I think it was said that Ebony has higher internal damping and makes a mellower tone as compared to EIR. So I was looking through all the exotic woods I've collected over the years & wonder if any of you have experience with using the following woods for bridges: Pink Ivory Kingwood (Brazilian) Mexican Kingwood (Camatillo Rosewood, Dalbergia Congestiflora) Desert Ironwood African Blackwood Cocobolo Lignum Vitae (the real stuff, but I don't think there's an adhesive that will work) Grenadillo (or is it Grenadilla?) Bocote Osage Orange I realize that there will be variations from board to board within a species but I'm looking for generalities. Thanks, Kevin Looker |

Granadillo is "Playmiscium yucatanum" There are other simular Playmiscium sp. through out central america. Grenadillia is "Delbergia Melanoxylon" or African blackwood. L. |
