Choice of Back Wood

 December 31, 2015

I spent some time in my shop this morning digging out some wood.  I have quite a few choices to use for the back and sides.  I am planning on using spalted maple.  My dad cut down a huge maple tree for the City of Missoula over 20 years ago.  I built my fist electric guitar out of this wood.  I am thinking on using the same chunk of wood for this mandolin.




I am pretty sure I can get a one piece back out of this chunk.  I will have to wail until my plans show up. 


Here is the guitar I build out of the same wood a few years ago.
