摘要:
A technique for fabricating body components for a hollow body stringed instrument includes providing a plurality of wood veneers all of a common wood species and each defining a grain pattern. A formable medium is provided between opposing faces of each veneer pair and the plurality of veneers are face bonded together with the grain patterns of each lying in a common orientation. In one embodiment, the plurality of wood veneers are veneer flitches, and the resulting composite veneer structure is formed as a stack of flitch-matched veneers. Alternatively, at least one of the outer veneers defines a high-quality or high-grade wood veneer and the remaining veneers in the resulting composite veneer structure define lower quality or lower-grade wood veneers. In either case, the flexible composite veneer structure is fitted to a mold and maintained therein until the formable medium cures to thereby provide a body component having a desired shape.
