Members Dave W. Posted April 16, 2007 Members Share Posted April 16, 2007 I moved to upstate New Youk from New Jersey 8 years ago. We just got a foot of snow, while they are swimming to work in NJ. I will take the snow. What a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 55gibby Posted April 16, 2007 Members Share Posted April 16, 2007 As far as what tonewoods to build an Ark... I would go with mahogany hull and spruce top. What guitar would I take?

Members DeepEnd Posted April 16, 2007 Members Share Posted April 16, 2007 The original ark was made of "gopher wood" and nobody knows what that was. Acacia (also known as Australian blackwood http://www.ellisguitars.com/BlackAcacia.html) is another Biblical wood, used to make the Ark of the Covenant. Cedar is another common Old Testament wood so an "ark" guitar would probably have acaria back and sides with a cedar top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 0rbitz9 Posted April 16, 2007 Members Share Posted April 16, 2007 I thought Ceder was always a traditional wood for building boats.I'm not suffering here in NJ. We did have a few roads flooded, but the two days of rain finally broke the dry spell. The humidity in my house is now at an ideal 44%. I can finally stop freaking out about controlling the humidity levels for my guitars in their cases, and take them out and enjoy them instead.
