I used bocote for the bridge, finger board, peg head, and end wedge for my red cedar guitar. I love the grain of bocote.

just wondering about opinions on the use of bocote for a fret board and bridge. I have stuck with old favorite rosewood long enough. When using bocote as a fret board how do you treat it being that it is so oily and sometimes toxic. Its one of my favorite woods and in the past i have sealed it in super glue before finishing, obviously that wont work for a fretboard. Looks great on knives and bows with a good hard finish. Thnaks for any opnions, good or bad. |
