Birdseye Maple
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2016 6:40 pm
My local wood vendor has a beautiful 8/4 billet of birdseye maple, and when I was there last Saturday I neglected to see if it was quarter sawn. My understanding is if the birdseyes are showing, it will NOT be quarter sawn.
My question is how well will this work for acoustic back and sides? I know quarter sawn is preferred. I've not bent any maple yet, although I have a set of ambrosia maple that I don't think is quartered either.
