Ebony bridge caps/ Titanium bridge pins

[Overs Pianos]

Hi Guys,

Ron N, that Permali looks as if it wouldn't be much different to 
maple impregnated with West System. The base material they're using, 
European Beech, isn't quite as dense as Canadian Maple (but that's 
probably unimportant), and they're forming it up using a vacuum 
press. As I've mentioned previously, we're using our vacuum press to 
form up bridge capping from quarter cut sliced 0.5 thick maple veneer 
glued with West System in the vacuum press.

When we glue our caps the glue comes right through the veneers to the 
unglued outer surfaces. Since wood fibre has a specific density of 
around 1.5 grams/cc regardless of species, it probably doesn't matter 
a great deal which species is chosen for the basic material to be 
added to the West System cap.
