Solution Bob Cleek Posted October 1, 2022 Solution Share #2 Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) I've read that it's a good tone wood for lutherie, but not widely used for that because of its lack of reliable availability. It's considered a good wood for fine carving.

grsjax Posted October 1, 2022 Share #3 Posted October 1, 2022 Avocado has a noticeable grain that may not look appropriate on a model. It is a nice wood for carving and other decorative uses.
