Paulownia Wood vs Swamp Ash for Guitar and Woodworking
Paulownia is the best Swamp Ash substitute. Sometimes called Empresswood, Princesswood or Kiri, it compares favorably to Swamp Ash in a few key areas.
The lumber yard near me (I mean you), may not stock these woods so take a virtual tour to see Paulownia and Swamp Ash (otherwise known as Punky Ash). Then check out the Wood Database for more technical wood data on both species.
First, Paulownia is ultra light weight. In fact, it weighs about 50% less than good Swamp Ash. Second, Empresswood is the only wood that is light weight and has a pronounced grain pattern very similar to Ash. Most lightweight woods like Balsa and Basswood have slight & modest grain. Finally, Empress wood grows quickly and comes from regions inside and outside the United States that are not impacted by wet weather logging delays.
Additionally, Empresswood has a reasonably high strength to density ratio. That is, it's pretty strong for its weight! If that's not enough, it's also one of the fastest growing hardwoods around.!
Luthiers or guitar builders should consider Paulownia as a tonewood. Some guitar shops use Empresswood as a guitar body core wood but use other wood on the exposed areas. This is unnecessary. Kiri looks excellent with a natural finish. Like Ash, the grain should be filled before finishing.
Builders like Carvin and Kiesel Custom Guitars make Empresswood guitars and basses. https://www.kieselguitars.com/guitarg...
Also, in 2012 Fender made a 60th Anniversary limited edition run of Empress Wood Telecasters. https://reverb.com/item/13453305-fend...

PewDiePie, I'm on your heels with tree-related video content. When I overtake your video in views, I will have a subscriber give-away of some sort. I don't know what but I'm sure it will be tree/wood-related and very very cool. Fear not, I will not go after your gaming videos. They are safe. However, trees and wood are my domain.
