Bruce,

Nice wood...(pre-MCMXCI?)

I have noticed a few things regarding your builds that I would be interested to hear your comments on.

1) I see more pattern variation in back bracing than top bracing patterns (not commenting on shape). Can you discuss this process?

2) I know that you build lightly and I see that you don't use a back seam reinforcement strip. What is your thinking on this?

3) it appears that you attach your sides to the top first. Many luthiers do just the opposite. Why have you chosen this build sequence?

Thanks
