Paloma is making great progress. We’ve finished kerfing her ribs and we’ve shaped her neck and attached it. Here are the latest update pix.
Paloma's backside kerfing goes in. At left you can see her pre-drilled end block.
Kerfing is complete. She stays in the form for a couple days to set her shape
This is how necks start. We angle cut the blank and glue it back together.
...after a bit of carving, the necks take shape.
Trussed up tight, Paloma gets her neck glued on.
Sound boards heading to planing. Paloma's is the red one in the middle.
Progress! Smile when you play that!
Do I detect a production of necks and sound boards? Looks great!
Indeed you do! I have three instruments due by Xmas and I’m going to be gone for several days before then so I am in full production mode!
