Does anyone care to opine on the differences to expect between figured "bear claw" spruce and a good quality straight grained spruce. The application is the soundboard for an OM. I was told figured spruce may be stiffer??? Or is the difference simply cosmetic? The goal is to achieve the best sound - deep, woody and rich, that will stand up to aggresive flatpicking. Cosmetics are secondary. Thanks for your help!!
