What are the arguments for and against cutting a bridge out of solid stock
versus making a laminated one.  I know part of the traditional argument is
the transmission of different frequencies through different hardenesses and
directions of grain.  It seems that some bridges were made of combinations
of maple and oak veneer to accommodate this particular need.  Any truth to
that?
