You seem like a good luthier but, you got glue on the wooden blocks you layed down and a little on your jointing plane, plus a little too much squeeze out but I am guessing you came back after 5-10 minutes and cleaned thing up. Nice shop and great music. Tomatito?

Don't put planes like this on your bench, it can damage the blade... Put them on the side
-
Is that Bulerias Sabicas I hear?
-
That must be a REALLY sharp plane! ABW is hard as nails.

The two trees I planted were bought were from seeds for my yard, not for lumber. I can tell you that the trees are thorny and tend to twist on themselves to create a bush quite readily. I had to prune and train them a lot to get them shaped like an ornamental tree. They DO grow VERY fast. My guess is that my trees wouldn't produce good lumber due to their fast ininhibited growth. The grain lines would be really far apart and the wood tan more than black. I also planted the tree for seeds

I'm planning to use African Blackwood for my few next classical, I would like to know how the side bending is with this wood? An also, I assume that the projection must be amazing, am I right?

What a job I am so envious... Nice piece of lumber be interesting to see the finished instrument.

I have 2 African blackwood trees in my back yard. I raised them from seeds. One is about 10 feet tall and the other is about 8 feet. They are about 5 years old now. I live on the southern tip of Florida so they don't get cold weather.
I also build guitars (mostly steel string). I only have one African blackwood guitar set but it is large enough to build a Jumbo guitar. It's very tough to bend. I recommend soaking in water
for at least 48 hours and using a fox bender. Plane thin and no cutaway.

I'm quite interested in US grown African Blackwood and Rosewoods! Is there any available at this time that you are aware of?
