 It’s a test piece really, I’ve got some nicer wood earmarked but I’ve never made one before so doing a pine/oak top test first. 
 I imagine the topology of the wood affects the sound of the guitar, so if you use different wood how will you translate your forming methods between wood types?  I don't know shit about any of this but now im interested. 
 I'm still learning too, guitars normally use "tone wood" which would be things like alder/basswood/ash etc. I've seen lots of people making Pinecasters though so hopefully this one sounds ok. The forming will be pretty much the same though regardless of wood type. 
 very cool, would love to see it in progress
