--- I just completed 2 commissions using torrified red spruce tops. I was impressed with the workability. Glues well but when I wet sanded for finish the top became so smooth at 150 grit. It is light and very stable. I will post the after thoughts and pics when they come back from finish.
both are getting Nitro
