I use CA glue as a pore filler, and it ‘wets’ the wood to bring out the color as will be seen when the instrument is finally finished. So, here are three of the next batch of 4 after the first coat of CA filler.
Two are veneer laminates with a ‘fancy’ wood over black locust (a very good local tone wood). These are the amboyna burl and ziricote. The other one is casuarina, about which I am pretty excited. I think it will be a great sounding wood, the looks are not too bad, and it is cut as an invasive species in Florida to boot.
