sitka spruce , is it worth it
saintjohnbarleycorn replied to saintjohnbarleycorn's topic in The Pegbox
Sounds like generally Sitka not a great idea , what density would be best? -
I have soem 80 year old sitka , I was thinking of using it, has anyone had any luck with it. or is it just better to stick with Engelman, I have seen some say that you can thin the top a bit because of the strength to weight ratio. any advice would be appreciated. thanks kevin
