EDIT: Meant to say "blank" not "black" (although I experience the latter on occasion as well). Funny stuff. Well, this one has balls of fire on the fretboard, so I certainly hope it is unrelated to the DBraz's bowel movements. If so, I don't even want know what's in his diet.

slipstream Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Please tell me more about Wenge wood, it looks soooo smooth! Is it brighter or darker in sound quality? Please share your wisdom ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthes Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 It's visually darker than maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBraz Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Wenge is a very stiff stable wood often favoured by bass players and has a sound not unlike Brazilian Rosewood. Big open pores assist in making it super slippery and very fast. Oh, and it looks brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree completely. The fact this is being hand made is a distinct attraction over a CNC machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthes Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 A CNC machine would not be a drawback at all, and does not diminish the excellence of the work, but watching somebody with the skills to do it by hand with a grinder/plane can be magical!

Mike floats the grinding wheel just above the wood's surface, like a bee hovering over a flower, then just a light touch and glide across.. Lots of finesse there. That takes years of practice considering the weight of that grinder and how subtle each approach is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
