Final touches on the back panel center seam patch.
I didn't like the hard edge of the center seam patch, so took a few judicious swipes with a chisel. Blue tape is for those 'oops' swipes.

Since I was a kid, I've always been fascinated with the process of making things, particularly, things made of wood. Since my teens, I've developed skills as an amateur woodworker. I learned to play guitar starting at 11 yrs old, and thought it would be fun to make a guitar from scratch using mostly hand tools. I've completely dog-eared my copy of William Cumpiano's "Guitarmaking; Tradition and Technology". It's my 'bible' on guitar making. Here's how I'm doing so far....
- Sanding Board Makes the Shape Continuous
- Carving the back braces
- Fairing the brace curves
- ... and a year and three months later....
- Final fitting of side
- One side gets the Kerfing
- Assembly; Sound board to neck attachment
- Both sides formed
- Side Bending
- A pretty sight..
