You must be super happy with the way it's unfolding :-)
This shot shows great promise of what's just around the corner ...

Thanks man, most appreciated. today is being frustrating. The top and bottom had been trimmed to be flush, and the binding channels have been routed. I'm now working on the end wedge but it's being problematic. I just wasted 30-45mins shaping a piece to fit and I went less than 1mm too far. Start again!Quote:

Spoiler alert...this is going to be freaking awesome.
If you get the light just right and squint, yep, it's starting to look like a guitar :-)Quote:

Today was more work on the body. Overnight, the top cured, even though I could have started something on it last night, I wouldn't have finished it. So it was best left till today.
After taking off all of the clamps, I left with this.

Then grabbing the hand router, I buzzed off the edges to get a pretty close edge. I played around with the binding direction for a teaser of what was to come!

Day 6: Part 3
Over to another bench to route out the binding channel top and bottom.

Next step is carving out a spot for the end wedge. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...23d25b99fd.jpg
This is purely a decorative piece to cover up the join where the two side pieces meet. This was my second attempt after I mis-sanded the middle piece by less than 0.5mm!

Still a dry run to go over my options for how this section would all meet up. I had in mind to miter all of the corners to have it all flow together seemlessly, but I don't have the time to attempt that!

Glued in place.
