The selected and well-seasoned, air dried woods I use for my instruments are :

Top:	Spruce (Picea abies), Western red cedar (Thuja plicata)
Back and sides:	Indian rosewood (Dalbergia latifolia), Maple (flamed), Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), Purpleheart (Peltogyne paniculata), Walnut (Juglans regia)
Neck:	Cedro, Spanish cedar (Cedrela odorata), Mahogany (Swietenia spp.), Maple (Acer pseudoplatanus)
Fingerboard:	African ebony (Diospyros crassiflora), Blackwood Tek (modified pine (Pinus radiata)), Black locust

The soundhole rosettes are designed and made from wood veneers by myself.

For finish I use shellac, applied by hand in the traditional French polish technique, which allows a very thin and therefore not damping coating.
