Re: Camp made guitar
You may want to use the oak. Oak is a well known tone wood. Poplar is neither strong enough nor tonal enough to make a good sounding banjo. Oak, ash, maple and hickory are all good tone woods for the banjo.
Just want to save you a mistake. I tried poplar once in a banjo body. After I made the entire banjo, the body went into the firebox...sounded awful and dull.
Just a heads up
