My Dad's formal education ended just before he finished the eighth grade because that day Nazi German troops poured across the Dutch border. Six days later the Netherlands surrendered and he and my Mom were now teenagers growing...

Heather Echola You have some great memories and connections and you can remind us firsthand of how horrible the war was and how it affected everyone.

Judy Evans I think whittling would be very relaxing. I can imagine it putting me to sleep rather than keeping me awake.

The Horse @koopharper Sounds good. Frank Ford, the Bay Area's most well-known guitar fix-it guy, recently passed away. A few years ago he told me I should use my 1914 Gibson mandolin as kindling because it has a sinking top. Son of gun. I still have the mandolin.

The Horse @koopharper Many guitar tops are spruce. But most of the backs and sides I've seen are mahogany, rosewood, koa, and now walnut. The elite fingerboards are usually ebony. Fun stuff. What was interesting to me was when I was working with maple veneer on a pair...

The Horse @koopharper I checked earlier. Maple wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Sitka spruce was about 500, which is about what I thought it would be. I'll have to check the various spruce woods. Supposedly, German, Italian and Engelman (sp?) as seen as "elite."...

The Horse @koopharper Ah, OK. Maple is pretty hard, right? I should just peek at a chart. My guitars are mostly mahogany with Sitka spruce tops. The speaker wood I work on is mostly dark walnut (veneer).
