#9 is plugging along.
Since the last update, I have installed and shaped the top bracing, closed up the box, routed the binding and purfling channels, installed (and fixed) the end graft, installed the top binding aaaandd… that’s actually it, so far.
It doesn’t seem like a lot, but it’s quite a bit of work!
In the near future I will be installing the rest of the binding, routing the tenon for the neck and start working on the neck.
Pictures!
