I didn’t get a picture of the bracing but John described as follows:

Red Spruce, scalloped X, with Jersey barriers! I just call them that, the braces along either side of the sound hole look like the barriers on the highway. Rift sawn, hard maple, bridge plate. The X is notched and capped. The X and shoulder brace ends are tucked into the kerfing. All glued with hot hide glue. A traditional OM has a 3 7/8” sound hole but I made this one 4”. Brace placement is pretty traditional.
