Laminated linings

[Alan]

I’m currently restoring an old Maton F10 nylon string folk guitar that had the soundboard stoved in as though someone had put their foot through it.
I know it’s not a valuable instrument but I have a sentimental interest in Maton classicals having owned a C30 since new in1964.
I’m about to replace the linings as much of the original glue is brittle.
I’m planning to use laminated linings - 3x 2mm Queensland Maple. My question is should the strips be quarter sawn or I would back sawn be OK.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

All of the stock I use for laminated linings is back sawn. Grain direction will affect ease of bending for thicker stock but since you're bending up thin stock it shouldn't really matter.

Thanks Matin - much appreciated.

Never heard the term "backsawn" before. I assume that it means the opposite of "quartersawn" which we use on our side of the world. Just curious.-Bob

"In practice, timber is regarded as backsawn if the growth rings meet the face of the board at an angle of less than 45 degrees"
