Dear All,
I have used two kinds of walnut (European and American black) for lute
backs. It works as well as anything acoustically, so there's no reason
not to use it. The density may be comparable to sycamore, but it is
nowhere near as dense as birdseye maple. It is rather porous, but takes

My appologies, perhaps I was being a little clever there.
My experience is only with American Black Walnut. European Walnut is not
as strong and could work out differently.
So, referring to American Black Walnut:
Walnut wood is not oily.

Hi All,
I have often and long wondered why we do not use walnut for lutes as a body
wood. It certainly is as hard as maple, particularly the birdseye, and has a
