Thank you all for the answer to my previous query.  Piantek does, in fact, 
get their maple bridge material from Bolduc.  I understand some bridge caps 
are made out of box wood.  How is box wood different from maple in terms of 
workability?  I understand it is somewhat brittle.  Does it have any 
advantages and if so, where do you get it in a form suitable for bridge 
capping?
