That sounds great. I don't think a guitar has to be 'perfect' wood. I know there are big issues with how much ebony gets thrown away because it is not totally black. A knot is no issue if it is not in an important place. I would not even mind a guitar with holes in it :)

I have a friend here who only likes guitars that look like they were made out of an old door or table, anything with paint or fancy wood he shuns for some reason lol. Have you ever watched this documentary? https://variety.com/2018/film/news/carmine-street-guitars-documentary-1202883133/

It's about a guy in NY who looks for old wood out of places getting torn down then he makes guitars out of them. Pretty fun show for guitar nerds like me.

I've not heard of that one, but will look out for it.

After watching, it makes you want to build a new guitar out of reclaimed wood.
