I was fascinated by your birds-mouth bridle joint, Bruce.

I see that you departed somewhat from the traditional Martin model by making the sides of the top channel parallel, rather than having the same taper as the diamond underneath.

Was this just to facilitate the fitting (which it undoubtedly would ) or was there some other reason ?
