[LUTE] Grain texture on soundboard.

2006-03-30 Thread Herbert Ward
In some areas of my soundboard the grain of the wood can be felt as slighly raised ridges. In other areas, the grain, though visually apparent, cannot be felt. Is this discrepancy due to an inherent difference in the wood, or is it due to the manner in which the lute was built? To get on or

It may be from places where you are consistantly touching the wood, either where you anchor your little finger, right hand, or where the left hand tends to touch the sound board in the higher registers, or where you may tend to occassionally rest your chin or cheek on the top of the top side of the

Herbert, The easy answer is, yes. It can be due to either one or both of those things. You did not mention the species of the wood so I will imagine that it is spruce of some kind. The grain lines in quarter sawn spruce for a soundboard, or any wood for that matter, are annual annular (not a repea
