hey. you braced the Carpathian top yet? my first build I used Carpathian and its a rather stiff light wood. i wanted to intitially stop thickness sanding at 3mm since that is the ideal ballpark area, however the top was still super stiff with no wobble. i continued on and eventually stopped at 2.5mm where the wobble was good and still strong. i chose to use tapered bracing on this build and even after it was finished, i still went inside the soundhole and used my miniature finger planer to take down on the bracing. Carpathian is extremely stiff so check your thickness before bracing and gluing it up.
