I will give it a shot sometime soon. Heck, I live in Portland, the city nicknamed "stumptown, as the land needed to be cleared to even build the darn place in this once thickly-forested area. The whole city was built out of the old growth Douglas Fir. The old stuff salvaged around the area can be gorgeous, never to be seen again (at least not in our lifetimes) wood. I have once seen (and heard) a flamenco guitar built by a Canadian luthier John Park. He used DF for the back/sides. It was a nice sounding instrument, as I recall. Intuition is one of those things, it works in our favor very often. On the other hand, the flip side of it is what we call prejudice. I think an Oregonian and a Portlander needs to try it with an open mind. It would be a shame not to. When I do, I'll post a write-up here. Cheers,
