Hi.

I think i will bend it before rough cutting the shape on the bandsaw. Or leave some extra on that area and then fit it to a body. Maybe a plexiglass bent template (that fits in all the bodies) could work. The edge of that area will be around 2 centimeter lower the soundboard level in a gradual slope. I guess that would make the soundboard around 3 millimter too short if you would cut it from a flat template...

I have now glued 7 soundboard and they all have 1 coat of protective clearcoat, but i haven`t cut anything out yet, i am still to scared to do that before i have made some composite bodies, it would be a disaster if it`s too small...
