    I’m not sure how well those laminated timber’s are glued together, FrankenWashie. Might need investigating.

    Are you referring to the mahogany skinned ply back, or my solid book match underneath it?
    There are currently five Clamps on the slab, I reckon it’ll be okayish.

    The glue used to hold body side to back overcame the bond between the first ply layer and the mid layer. It peeled in a couple of places, but most worryingly at the rear block. I have done some work to clean it up and even out the edge but, it may not prove successful as it means the edge is a mm or so thinner than it was. We shall see.
