Re: 23" scale model fretboard for lapsteel
Hello everyone, My lapsteel, Canal House, is finished. I would like to show you all some pics. I made it out of laminated hardwood just for a try, inexperienced as I am.

Best wood for lap steel?
I know there is no best wood, but what do you prefer? I have used red maple so far and enjoyed it. I am thinking of red maple in my next build, but I may laminate it with aspen, poplar, or red oak. I know these are not commonly used tone woods, but they are kiln dried wood that I have access to. I w...
