fender3x: *most* of our hardwoods are harder than maple. good for fretboards and accents to bodies/necks, but way too heavy for a guitar body. hunting through piles of decking timber is a good source. With a bit of digging you can usually find a piece of quarter sawn

My Epiphone has a radiata pine body. After the shoulder pain caused by the SX it was a welcome change.

Wow, just looked up Jarra...it's harder than maple. Is it as hard to work as maple? Awfully pretty tho. Would make a nice fretboard....

I have normally used repurposed jarrah (most has come from kitchen renos!). It is hard to cut, but with a good saw it is fine. It is nice to turn. I have used it for small crafty things only. I do have a jarrah coffee table made by my Grandfather.

A friend of mine purchased a jarrah bodied flying V from a local producer about 12 years ago. It weighed a ton! But, looked great.
