Hola Julian, también me llamo Julian.

Madera de limón si funciona muy bien para los arcos. Lo más importante en un pedazo es que las fibras son rectas y cerca. Con esta tipa de fibra, esta madera (ellos lo llamaba “degame”) fue usado para los arcos famoso en Inglaterra en los 1600s-1800s, los arcos de deportes similares a los arcos de guerra que fueron usado en los 1100s.

Si las fibras en su madera no son perfectas, también puedes usar una madera blanca como una espalda para mejorar la estabilidad.

Una cosa final – si cortas un árbol de madera de limón, necesitas secarlo por como dos años. Sí usa una pedazo mojado y fresco, el arco no estaré muy fuerte.

Did you find out whether lemon wood is good for firewood please picking some up tomorrow!

Lemonwood is a lot harder than oak or hickory.

Sure; all wood but Eucalyptus, and sappy pine is great for burning (they pop, and blow debris everywhere). You’d probably have to go to Cuba to find any volumn of ‘Lemon’ IMHO. It’s known for it’s ‘white,’ consistent grain, and thus consistent carving ability. You like to whittle? Get some Lemon wood.

The ‘tonal’ quality of non-acoustic guitar bodies is mythical IMHO; sorry. (But it sells a lot of Walnut guitars at triple the price). As for the NECK of the guitar… now that’s a different story. It would be good for body, and be similar to ‘clear’ Poplar, and note the emphasis on ‘clear,’; that is the feature of the Lemon wood; it’s ALL clear.

Certainly safe, but for a cutting board your seeking ‘toughness;’ I’d suggest a harder wood, such as oak or hickory. Lemon I’d equate with Poplar on the’ toughness’ scale. It’s feature is it’s ‘consistency’ when carving; not something you need when slabbing together a cutting board IMHO. Also, the Lemon wood will stain too easily IMHO.

Lee, I know it´s been used, at least in Spain, for backpipes, flutes, ando other musical instruments.
Some craftsman told me about the good sound cuality of this wood.
