Default Multitasking...

It appears as if Bruce was multitasking today...

Aside from finishing work on the Pernambuco L-00 shown above, he was busy doing some hot pipe, freeform bending of some curly Bigleaf Maple sides. Working without molds, Bruce is free to adjust his body profiles subtly. This body is slightly different to allow for a graceful resolution to the carved back. Working without molds offers these advantages when doing custom work I suppose. I also see that the third level of the top bracing has been installed since I last saw the top along with a bridge plate (I am guessing it's Jatoba, but Bruce will likely chime in).
