I have a very unique piece of canary wood I was considering doing a build from. I have never built a mandolin, but I have built a couple acoustic guitars. I have done some practice carving on a top and it came fairly naturally to me. This piece is a one of a kind and I think it would make a beautiful back. There is not much information on the internet regarding canary wood for instruments. Overall, I read that it is easy to work and has good tonal properties. Does anyone have information regarding canary wood? Does the grain direction of the wood seem problematic for a back? I'd appreciate any and all feedback!
