Lil Fish,
I am admitting the big timber shcitt is pretty cool, as it seems from your slightly disturbing self portrait that you have managed to not saw into your leg with that huge saw you are toting.
That being said we still need to throw some lead down range.

no expert stick just watched a show the other day where small planks of old growth maple was going for several thousand.used for musical instruments Sitka Spruce trumps all in acoustics. Bt/dt. Ask ANY builder................... If you mean "acoustic guitars", then I'd disagree. Aderondack (sp?) spruce is the premium spruce. It's what the old Martins used, generally, before the it pretty much ran out, for commercial purposes. You can still get it, at a huge upcharge, on very high-end acoustics like Collings or the "real" Martins or whatever. Won't vouch for this as fact, but it's interesting so I'll pass it along. I was told by the Martin rep, over a beer, that Martin bid on, but lost, the last stand of big Aderondack spruce, back in the day. For guitar tops of course. Anyway, guess who won the bid.....? The National Matchstick Company. Brutal. Carry on with the pizzin' match, gents.  FWIW, it's Adirondack. As in, the Adirondacks of New York. And, that's not a species, or even a subspecies; merely a geographic location (albeit a very famous one). I knew that spelling looked wrong. Be that as it may, in the guitar world Adirondack spruce is a known quantity, and is generally regarded as the premium top wood. Sitka spruce is another, no doubt, but Adirondack is the chit. The bluegrass boys love Adirondack because it's very "direct" and throaty sounding. Sitka is more shimmery. Generally speaking. Acoustic guitars are singularities, individuals, but one can make general statements IF you've literally played many hundreds of the top builder's guitars. Which I have.
The CENTER will hold.

spruce is lumber......grin Lol.... Might as well make matchsticks out of the stuff, eh? Brazilian rosewood is cool stuff. Can be gorgeous to look at, and the tone (as a body wood) is awesome defined. I had a '70 Brazilian 000-28; I sold it when it became worth crazy money. Most all acoustics built with rosewood now use Indian rosewood, which isn't nearly as interesting to look at, nor typically sounds as good. Though I do have a cherry-picked recent Martin OM-28V with Indian rosewood body that is a frikkin' cannon.

Only joshing you guys.But as far as building a house is concerned I'd rather use spruce over pine or fir.

I think big stick is really the little girl in the pictures she posts and if her little harry short shirt wearing dad knew she was giving you boys a hard time he'd probably spank her a$$$. Just sayin..........
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Stick... You are bouncing around like a Mezzican jumping bean here, and the quality of pizzin' match entertainment you provide is slipping accordingly.
I suggest less, but more carefully-tended fires. You've got a brand to protect here.
And FYI, I've forgotten more about guitars than you are likely to ever know. Not that knowing a lot about guitars is particularly admirable... lol... but I'm just sayin'.

Sitka spruce = species Adirondack spruce = not Which spruce from the Adirondacks are you referring to, Jeff? Calling something, that which it ain't, don't make it something else than what it still is.
