I build my guitars out of solid wood. Any given species of wood has specific qualities and characteristics that distinguish it from another species, but these can vary greatly from one tree to another. Grading standards can vary between vendors but the wood that I use on my instruments is AAA or fine grade wood.t is dense wood with a loud, sustaining tap tone. Lacewoodâs color is a warm cinnamon brown and has bold figure (the name leopard wood is sometimes used). Some builders feel that this wood contributes to a warm tone characteristic of guitars many years older.
Square footage. Most contractors charge by the square foot. Average prices to re-stain a deck range from 50 cents to $2.50 per square foot. It will cost more to also have the underside of the deck stained. Some contractors will include sealing the deck in their quote, but some donâtâbe sure to make sure.
1 For sealing alone on a 250 square foot deck, expect to pay $300 to $400. Staining a deck of the same size might cost $400 to $600. Again, expect costs to rise for larger decks.  A gallon of deck stain or sealant costs $25 to $40. To seal a 250 square foot deck, plan on using two gallons ($50 to $80), plus assorted brushes, buckets, and rollers ($20 to $40) for a total materials cost of roughly $75 to $150. Staining the same deck might require as many as three to six gallons of stain ($75 to $240).
