The bridge set I just finished had 8 plys of the microscopically thin stuff that passes for commercial veneer these days, soaked clear through with epoxy. I don't think there's any non - epoxy impregnated wood left in it to react to moisture. If it doesn't change dimension with humidity changes, it ought to be a good thing for both tuning stability and bridge pin wear. I expect this stuff to keep a clean termination for a very long time. Bit tough to notch though, hence my building the machine.
