John has braced the Carpathian Spruce top. The x-brace, tone bars and UTB are made using Adirondack Spruce, the two finger patches are Carpathian Spruce (same piece as top), the sound hole patch and popsicle brace are both made from Sitka Spruce and the bridge plate is made using skewed Honduran Rosewood.
The beautiful quartersawn East Indian Rosewood carved back and rims are coming along and getting ready for final clean up and sealing. The Honduran Mahogany neck/end blocks, Spanish Cedar kerfed linings and Spruce side reinforcement strips have been installed.
