This is the thing that always intrigues me, Charles ... like ... how does the builder actually
know that one more stroke with the sanding block will ruin the top ?
I totally get the top stiffness measurement thing (not part of this thread discussion so far, admittedly) ... but it seems to me that many builders like to propose an almost mystical , tai-chi kind of approach to their voicings, and I am not sure that I can altogether gel with that .
AFAIAC if it can't be measured, then it doesn't exist.
