Hello Everyone,
Is pau ferro a good material for lute ribs?
Yes - And finish it with Stand Oil (ie linseed Oil which has already
partly oxidised - NB not the modern chemically altered stand oil used
nowadays by artists), This gives a fine satin sheen finish on the wood
and dries hard but remains flexible.

Dear Jaroslaw,
Yes, it's actually quite a good wood for ribs tonally and
structurally and bends well. The surface pores are quite open so
getting a sophisticated finish is harder. The bright red colour tones
down quite rapidly into a nice orange brown.
