It made me nervous, because the cutaway has a very tight radius, and Macassar Ebony can be quite difficult to bend. But since I always build with double sides now, I can make both the inner and outer sides thinner, and bend them together. Everything came out flawless. Attachment 12009Attachment 12010 |
Jumping ahead a bit, here are some shots of the sides, bent, laminated, blocked, and lined.
