Morado
Ken, very explanative. Thanks !
You mentioned that Morado is more oily than other woods. I own a BMT Elite with Morado top and back which seems to be satin finished (as the BSR GN series ?), which I had never seen on another 90s Smith bass. I am the first user so it must be original. Is Morado not compatible with high gloss finishes ? I also read on the Smith page that Morado is discontinued as a top wood now ...   Sorry for highjacking this thread with Morado, but I refer to Ken's statements in the post before.

Morado..
Morado finishes fine with Lacquer. Doing an Oil finish is the thing that is difficult. Oiling Oil in a way. We have done it but it's very difficult to do. Ebony is another wood that is difficult to Oil as well as Cocobolo for the same reasons.
