This fine-grain blank is wide enough to make many standard guitar/bass patterns but check your template to confirm.
This Jelutong blank is kiln-dried.
The color is white with fine grain. It finishes to a high luster.
Jelutong (Dyera costulata) sometimes called Malmywo, is used by luthiers like James Tyler as an exotic bodywood option.
According to Wikipedia:
Jelutong is used for its wood. Along with balsa it is technically a hardwood with many properties similar to that wood. These properties such as the low density, straight grain and fine texture mean it is easy to work with and hence popular with model makers and within the patternmaking trade. The roots are used as a cork substitute.
