Book Matching?
I've noticed that when an instrument back is classified as book matched it very rarely is!
I know the wood is vertically split and at that point should be perfectly matched. After carving to get the right thickness on the outside and the centre the book matched grain goes up an down even though the centre doesn't really move during the carving process (Much).
Why should/does this happen?
I never fail at anything, I just succeed at doing things that never work....
