I’ve got a couple of Telecasters made with modern pine. It’s rock hard after all these years and should make a pretty resonant and good looking guitar. You might also reduce the speed of the motor as too fast can cause tear out and splintering as well but that’s relative to the diameter of your cutting tool as well.Īs far as pine in concerned, this Heart Pine you’re describing sounds like the really hard pine they used to sheet my house when it was built in 1950 or so. If my passes were splintering, I would reduce the speed of my pass and reduce the depth I’m cutting per pass. I’m sure you’ve got some sort of spiral cutting bit right? The things I consider when working with old sappy wood like the fir, and cedar in my 1950’s house is that the bit needs to cut on an angle. I’ve been using routers and jigs for ages but I haven’t got a CNC so I’ll just comment based on manually operating a rotating tool.
