    I've been using walnut for a while now. Never had any splitting problems but then again I guess it depends on how it's cured etc..I use thin sheet and brass liners usually though.

    Laminating is a good way of creating very strong sections of timber.

    You'd want a centre lamination, and then one face laminate either side to stabalize it.

    you could have ebony in the middle then some sweet timber on the outer laminates. Could look quite slick. I like the little inlay by the way. A nice touch of class!

    I've been thinking of doing something like this with thin brass sheets and perhaps ebony. So that when sanded to form you'd have the same pattern as the Dov-mircata scales but with a brass highlighting.....
