I almost got #12 closed up. My weekend was just too full with other stuff to get to closing the box up.
I got the soundboard all braced. It needs a little scalloping work, but I am nearly there. After I get the bracing done I can cut pockets in the lining and start closing it up.
Next, I’ll start setting up the binding. This guitar will have Bloodwood binding with white/red/white purfling. Once I get the purfling on the binding, I can route the channels on the box for binding. Then I can start cutting my miter spots at the end and cutaway sections.
Anyway, all this will be illustrated in the next few weeks. Here is my progress so far:
- Back braces carved
- Getting my stacked heel started
- Upper Transverse Braces (UTB)
- Finger braces and Tonebar
- X-brace goes in next
- last few bits being glued in.
- Bindings for both #12 and #13
