Bohemian, I didn't have a problem with pitch pockets. Although I know this wood can be pretty resinous I think the fact that it was 80 years or more since it was harvested meant that the resins had had time to harden and maybe this makes this wood work better than fresh DF or even roadkill DF.
The guitar in the photo was made using only temperate woods, mostly from the UK. The bridge is holly which has a very tight-textured grain and worked very well. I like the negative effect of the almost white bridge on darkish soundboard - a little reminiscent of those ivory-bridged Martins from the 19th century. I'm glad you liked the baritone Sevenpalms. Do you no longer have it? |

FWIW, here is the good news...it's not murder after all. Douglas Fir is not a true fir. It is its own species, called pseudotsuga. True firs are called Abies. The cones and foliage are quite different.

The ad for the house I live in said it had "fur floors throughout". THAT I wanted to see.
