In some areas of my soundboard the grain of the wood can be felt as slighly raised ridges.
In other areas, the grain, though visually apparent, cannot be felt. Is this discrepancy due to an inherent difference in the wood, or is it due to the manner in which the lute was built? To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
