carefully. The sonic impact depends upon the application. I distinctly wrote this.

Used as shelving it reacts one way and I thought I made that abundantly clear when stating that spruce needs the load to be applied in a cantilevered type platform. When used as room treatments wood reacts differently as well as when simply used as a footer in compression.

To cover every application in detail is far beyond the scope of this thread, and, to be honest, I have not experimented with all the possible woods out there and all the permutations of application.

In other posts, I have clearly stated my objective in posting is to start people experimenting and thus add to the collective knowledge which no one person, no matter how long you work at it, can claim to master all possible permutations.

Simply staining a piece of wood changes the surface as the water base causes the grain to rise, for example. Whether this is beneficial depends on what aspect of music you want to be changed, obviously.
For other treatments the density of the surface is obviously changed. Again depending upon the sonic change desired, the effect may or may not be beneficial.

As for explanations, why must I provide all the answers? If there is an effect, should not that observation be enough? The fact that different applications yield different results again gives hints as to the working mechanism. But, please, why do I have to provide answers?

Morphic resonance ? Ha ! If that were true shouldn't the results be more consistent in all applications ? So what have you done, and what explanation do you provide?
