I'll start a new thread in a few days, and use it to show the progress. Or, you can follow it on my website-- I will be doing the same thing there. But I will probably remember to post here, as well.

As Michael mentioned, Del Gesù used "fresh" wood. I can imagine that many other important makers used fresh wood for money reasons.

I think that just a small number of makers are able to link sound and wood properties, perhaps the same can be said for wood age. In my case five years of seasoning is ok.
