Can a fretboard be too hard?
Probably need special tools for frets. I've seen, though never played aluminium fretboards so it might work.

Neat. I don’t think fretboards need to be any harder though!

Speaking of, ever cut down locust? Now that is some tough friggin wood.

It depends on the tone you're after
