Here's a couple more progress shots ... I should be able to start posting finished photos Thursday or Friday ... then an audio sample at the end.

Hi Folks! I'll try to post a photo or two every day for the next 3-4 days ... then a brief audio file.
Here's the first shot. My customer requested a cover for the side port ... here's what I came up with.

Hi Stuart ... yep, fits like a glove. I don't get very many requests for the covers, but when I do, I construct them similar to an f-hole plug on an archtop. I bend the wood for the outside ... laminate it to 2mm bent fibre-board to make it structurally sound ... then glue 5/8" dense foam that is a smidge bigger than the port on the inside. The foam compresses as you gently push the plug in the hole and secures it in place.

Thanks Geoff ... the port cover isn't my innovation, but I admit that they look cool!
