MAHOGANY BACK AND SIDES, SITKA SPRUCE TOP.
Bending the sides
Another view of this.
Gluing in the neck and tail blocks.
More of the same. Next I will cut the dovetail in the neck
block and bend and glue in the "inside side" of the harp extension and
make/install the block for the end of the harp which will also
incorporate the "peghead" for the harp tuners.
Sides are together - i.e. all the blocks are in and the ribs are now
"one piece".
Here the back has been glued on.
