Default Top n' Sides

The fact that Bruce has signed the inside of the top indicates he has completed his voicing of the German Spruce top. It looks like a BRW bridge plate (Bruce has corrected that it is Yucatan Rosewood) is accompanying the Adirondack Spruce bracing (left). Bruce has profiled the the flitch matched, quartersawn BRW sides (right) somewhat thicker in the body than typical of his work, just shy of about .080”. The cutaway portion is a pretty even .062" thick to allow for easier bending.
