Well, as the OP, I am really glad this resurfaced. I did discover, later, that, evidently "greenheart" is another name for Ipé. If that is true, Ipé is widely available, and apparently can work very well. Nice to know.
Bloodwood, of course is also widely available. That is nice work, indeed, Ed.

There's nothing about bubinga to make one give it a second glance really, it's not particularly dense or strong as tropical hardwoods go. _________________ You can only connect the dots that you have. |

I bought a marranduba board from a guy building decks here in KC . The wood is extremely dense, tough, and resilient , brilliant red color . Has been used successfuly by a canadian bass bow maker . My piece was under a tarp . When examined , it had a high moisture content , will wait at least 5 years to dry. I believe the bow makers name is porowchick?? not sure of the spelling _________________ I am very interested in violin and bow making. Have quite a few interesting bows and a large cache of pernambuco. I like to experiment using local midwest hardwoods, |
