It has an open pinblock configuration. I've made a few of my = own quarter-sawn hard-maple pinblocks, but Ron Nossaman (thank you) turned = me on to the idea of using a relatively inexpensive Pianotek multi-lam hard maple = pinblock (rotary sawn) and capping it with Delignit. One can either use = Delignit pinblock material or their bridge-capping material (thinner = laminations). I have capped this multi-lam pinblock with a 5 mm cap of Delignit = bridge-capping material (laminations 2 through 6). The top lamination (1 mm max) is a = veneer of Jatoba - a South American hardwood that has a hardness approximately = twice that of hard maple. It doesn't show well in the picture, but it is very = pretty wood and looks like a cross between rosewood and mahogany.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>P.S.
