  • thanks for that link doc. i asked my luthier teacher about the possibilities of olive wood and he said it was good for fretboards. that got the thinking. of cource those boards in the pic were only a inch thick. but like roger said the shape is great!
  • Great find. Here is some discussion about the challenges and value of olive wood.
  • That top one I wouldn't change the shape at all, it would look great as is. Now to find a neck to match.
