Knocked off a block of Spruce to send to a carver who has not tried it yet. Decided
to cut one right out of the woodpile.

Sitka spruce is also a fine tone wood used for guitar tops as well.

Yes it does make exceptional guitar parts, and at least one VERY large airplane.
It's going to Carvin Don as a thank you for the knife he sold me in last Thursdays
auction. He sold me a Tidioute Black Pearl Congress Test Run #12 of 13. It got
here yesterday and is top shelf. Thanks Don.

(The saw has a 32" bar in that pic, I normally run a 36" on that saw, but didnt have
a 36" chain ready, so I installed the shorther bar cause I had 32"s that were sharp.
Thats why the bar looks new, that was the first time I had run that small a bar on
that saw! - Stihl 660 is a little 'motor-heavy' with a 32" imho)
