You have inspired me to build scouts for my grandkids. My first two are white oak (neck, back, sides and front). The fretboards are curly ash. They are very cheerful. The next two will be cherry and black walnut. The bending was easy, but still the overall instrument was about as much work as a waisted concert or tenor.
Handsome little scout! I love the way the headstock ties all the wood choices together. 👍
