I hope this is not too off topic, maybe you can PM me:

Wayne, how do you feel about Black Walnut as a tonewood? It's a very plentiful wood in my area and I have several trees on my property that I was thinking of having harvested...

The Black & Tan guitar has a hoot, but I was not totally happy with the result of the bracing and top thickness. Since I made it for myself to fool around with, I decided to try something. I took the back off and fit a Bouchet bar to boost the cross grain stiffness.

I'll glue the back on and see how it sounds, probably not as much flamenco and more classical, but we'll see.
