Through testing wood, in
it new state
either air or kiln dried, there is still a certain amount of water
that remains in the wood cells. It takes many years to dry the
bound up water away. That is why old wood has almost always
been known to sound better. I use heat to cook my wood down to
the amount of water that would be still present in the wood
from the 1930s. Torrified wood is good too, but it simulates
much older wood than the 1930s. If old wood is good, why not
10,000 years old? Well, in the woods that we all use, there
would be nothing left. If that is true, at what point
does it start to loose its sound? I don't know, but
being I am set up with my other parts to simulate the 1930s, I
can't see this as being any different. Yes, this bridge
process did make my banjos sound better.
