Recently I was perusing the Alaska Specialty Woods website, which is rarely a good thing for my credit card. This time I did a little damage to the credit card buying damaged wood, damaged in a very cool way.
The Teredo / shipworm clam excels at boring through wood. If a log, Stikka Spruce in this case, is floated down the river and sits/sinks in brackish water, it might get attacked by Teredo clams. Later that log might get pulled out of the water, quartersawn, put on a web site, and finally do a little damage someone's credit card.
I've always wanted a Teredo top since I first saw Yasmin William's guitar
Yasmin's is symmetric / book matched.
I'm mulling over how I am going to do mine...
