I cut and surface sand, but I am very careful for this purpose to get little or
no runout  In boatbuilding, I was taught a rule that runout should be no less
than 24” in a 1” board, and I try for much better than that for tone wood.

I would love to try some Persimmon, but it is not readily available here. The
Osage Orange is called “poor man’s Brazilian Rosewood” because of it’s density
and surface hardness, so I tried that as I have a bunch of it.

The amazing thing here is that guitar changed so much over such a short time -
never heard of that before.  Even my terrible hearing could hear it.
