After too long of a break, I made it back to the shop and tries to get an idea of where I was in the process. I watched a few videos and decided to start tackling the braces for the soundboard. I had some quarter-sewn spruce from the previous guitar and some that my father had cut and using the plans I cut the rough dimensions for the braces i would need for both walnut guitars.
I also used the 30’ radiused sanding board to sand the tops side of the body in preparation for closing “the box” once I get the braces for the soundboard completed.
Not a lot to see of the process today, but here is a pick of the roughed-out spruces braces and walnut bridge reinforcement for both guitars.
