I made a bridge yesterday and finished it this morning.

The rosewood alone was too thin for comfort (the saddle slot bottomed out), so I laminated a piece of birch, from the same set I did the headstock with. Now it's a little over 22 grams before I sand the birch part down a bit and radius it.





The saddle slot is too wide, because of a router slip. Live and learn. I'll taper the saddle on either side a little like this so it's not too obvious.



I only have up to 2500-grit sandpaper. How high should I go? It feels smooth, but I sense it could be shinier.
