    I think the re-shaped lower horn has just about perfect dimensions and will be quite an outstandingly balanced looking instrument, well saved Sir!

    Why thank you kind Sir, I will have to post an updated shot, there is a rather savage carve happening in that lower cutaway.

    Yep, I've got one and a half shed fairies each with their own corner.

    Shed Fairy, I like that! I’m sure she will too.

    Frankie, you should have stuffed some padding under one shoulder of her jumper before you took the photo.
    You could have used it as proof that Igor exists!

    Technically, that would make her an Igorina assuming one follows the gospels according to Pratchett.

    So some more carving and a neck pocket eventuated.



    The observant ones will note the tell tale signs of CA glue wicked into cracks on the top horn. I suspect that these began when the router threw it, and subsequent carving released some stresses in the timber.
    I couldn’t help but fit my original neck experiment up to see how it looked, I’m going to have to replicate it for this body, I really like the reverse headstock look for this.
