Hi All!
I have not been active here for quite some time and am gonna try to work my way back!
Has anyone used tight grained pine for instrument tops?
Recently I came across some downed trees that appear to be some sort of Pine from around 10,000 feet near Fairplay, Colorado. It is straight and tight grained and looks to have some potential. I know it is not bristlecone pine, figure it is most likely lodgepole pine.
I cut a few logs from low on the trunks and split them up and cut one thin piece to dry quickly. It seems to have a resonant tone when tapped, and seems quite lively (for lack of a better word).
I'm wondering if anyone has used high altitude pine that, in appearance, seems to behave like spruce?
