Have you all noticed the irony of discussing how little traffic there is on the
list generating the most traffic we have had in a while.

And if photos of any sort help, how about this - a look at harvesting guitar
wood

Guitar tops are traditionally made of spruce, and there are a lot of spruces
that will work - some are made of pine.  Trees are cut, then the tops are split
and sawn out immediately, They will dry in a couple of months with no splitting
because there is so much surface area for the thickness.  In fact the wood is so
thin that a guitar reacts to humidity in a few hours.
