The back bracing is completed and I have made new laminated heel and tail blocks.
I may taper the legs of the x brace all the way down to nothing but I will sleep on it and decide tomorrow.
The heel block is still a bit heavier than I would have liked being constructed from mahogany and walnut, next time round I would use a core wood that was less dense. The tail block is laminated from the off cuts of the sound board and the back, cedar and walnut.
Next up is to get those sides bent.
Thanks for checking in.
