Quarter sawn sitka bracing
My Washburn M1SDB has quarter sawn sitka bracing. I looked up what 'quarter sawn' was, and got that it was 'rip sawn', and that it was stronger and could look very nice....
Is this an advantage to bracing? I imagine that it doesn't really matter what it looks like... and does stronger mean that it is less resonant? Or that it holds the mandolin together better? I'm obviously not a luthier, or even woodworker.
I'm very happy with the mandolin - I've just wondered since I got it what this meant?
Thanks so much in advance.
