Talking experiments in lutherie
I would like to carve essentialy a large wooden spoon shape. How big can I get before splitting becomes an issue. What wood do you think has the most unique grain? (within the context of a large thin shape) This is with the ultimate goal of a stringed instrument.

BOUNDLESS GRATITUDE
