So, it's not so "out of the question" as I thought. I never see beech wood
listed among the woods
for lute bowls and I always wondered why. I have an Oud made of beech wood
and the sound is beautiful.

Subject: [LUTE-BUILDER] Re: Confession
I just bought some beech for making pegboxes from a local sawyer and I
have to say I also love it. I bet it would perform like maple but I
think it is nicer to work with. The only problem is availability. It
isn't on the US lumber market anymore since it was pretty well logged
out a century ago, but fortunately trees still exist and are
occasionally logged by small operations. If it is available I would use
it. No confession necessary!

Congatulations!
Maybe you will discover that the beech wood is better for bowl
making
and you will get a better sound...
Take care
