Like all tonewood jut be sure its quarter sawn and as little or no runout as possible. makes a nice top. |

I use it often. It's a fantastic for soundboards. |

I forgot about the runout. I was just going to start resawing away but should I actually try to split the 1 x 5 first? |

Plane the edge of the board and have a look. Often you can see if there is runout or not. |

Yellow cedar makes a great sounding uke top,I/ve built 1 tenor with it , also will try POC one of the OLF sponsors sells it, and it is also a good soundboard material |

I like Alaskan yellow cedar for tops and necks. Here's Marcy Marxer playing one of mine with an AYC top and neck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFsBDXYnMGI |

Built a 530 scale Requinto entirely out of Yellow Cedar a few years ago. Built it for my grand-daughters. It was very easy to work with and sounded great. You'll love it.. |
