Starting a rosewood dread
Starting a rosewood dread. I'm still undecided about what wood I'll select for the top.

Re: Starting a rosewood dread
I vote for Adirondack or carpathian, for articulation and response. I'd use Engelhardt if you want more warmth and super sustain. Just my 2 cents.

You can never have too many clamps

Nope, there's no such thing as too many clamps.

Re: Starting a rosewood dread
I'll be watching this with interest - I bought a rosewood set from a man who was downsizing at a luthier show last fall, and a friend gave me (for doing some thickness sanding) a 30-40- year old sitka top set. I thought I might try a boomy dread, which I have not made before.

Re: Starting a rosewood dread
Cool. I'm finishing up a rosewood/englemann. I look forward to this top. It is silky and white. Maybe Adi or red spruce next time.
