No, not really, I just build them for fun & friends.
There is quite a sad story about the soundboard wood I have been using!
It comes from what was allegedly the largest macrocarpa in the UK!
It hit the news papers about 5 years ago when it was declared dead but was only cut down eight months ago.
I found the tree surgeon who cut it down & went to see the remains.
The tree was being gradually reduced to firewood but there was still a huge mid section left, the surgeon kindly cut out a quarter 4' long section & cut that down to 2" planks - all with a hand held chain saw.
That was about six months back, there is now nothing left of the once magnificent tree - it was in fact, all cut up for fire wood!
The tree was 187 years old and a landmark feature just a few miles from my house.
I asked on numerous forums if the wood could be used for guitar tops (soundboard) and every answer was "no" but nobody had actually tried!!!
So it was very satisfying to find out that in fact it not only looks & smell gorgeous but the wood performs extremely well
