Hi all, new to the forum but a hobbyist luthier and I’ve recently offered to make one of my nephew’s (also my godson) an instrument to replace a cheap miniature size guitar I gave him when he was about 3. I really bought it for myself as it plays ok for what it is and only paid a tenner for a carry around kinda thing. Anyway, I’ve been building a replacement largely based on the aforementioned. That’s all going well but me being a cheapskate and having grown up in a house with an arboretum, I thought I’d try and use wood that really meant something. I’ve had some moderate success with a Monterey pine/radiata which was around 200 years old (which sadly came down after all of the generations I’d known having loved it) for sound boards but found this lying around and couldn’t quite identify – I’m going to use it as a neck but just wondered if anyone was clued in as to what it is – it’s UK based but has some unique and extremely rare trees on top of the standards. It must have been felled around 18months ago. Excuse the bear (his name’s Bjorn which is bear I  Swedish) and he thought the small inflection looked like a nose… For reference that’s around 4by4 and it’s so tough when trying to screw a guide board with turbo drives it started shredding the head.
