Next Steps
Thanks!
Here is a picture of me test fitting the Koa heel block wedge along with the purfling inside the cutaway: And all glued in: I followed a similar process for the point of the Florentine cutaway. It is also made from the same piece of wood: Cheers! Mark

I glued up the kerfing on the bottom of the sides. Here's an insiders view: Here's a normal picture in case that first one didn't make any sense: More to come! Mark

I know exactly what you mean, and boy do I miss that feeling (from the Lullaby Guitar build). Feel like I should do it again. That Woodsman model has been calling to me...

Kerfing clamps
Hi Mark, I bought some kerfing clamps from StewMac that look just like yours. The StewMac clamps come with rubber o-rings that don't provide enough clamping force. Do the heavy rubber bands you use provide enough pressure and if so, where can I find them? Thank you.

What's the Point
Here I am cleaning up the Spanish Cedar kerfed lining. It's a job I like because I like the smell of the Spanish Cedar so much which is also why I use it inside the guitar in the first place:
When doing the point of a Florentine cutaway I usually bind it like the top and back edges. This time I thought I'd try doing it with a single piece of Koa and avoid the seem at the very edge of the point: It is a little more work to match the joint perfectly but it's stronger and allows me to face the best figured curly side out and the figure matches on both sides. More to come! Mark

I spent a little time this weekend and made up these replacements for my brace glue down blocks. I made a couple improvements including the suggested countersink holes suggested by kkrell. My new little Byrnes table saw made short work of this!

Nice! I'm glad that someone like me with absolutely no woodworking or luthier experience could get a suggestion implemented. I hope it turns out to be a valuable addition, and those go bars just snap into place.

Side Soundport
We're putting a side soundport on this Piña. I sent a picture of my suggested oval shape:
I suggested oval because we already have an oval shapes on the back and the inside logo chip so it would tie in and I could dress it up with Koa binding and purfling. Stevied63 liked the oval OK but, was looking for something more. We tossed ideas back and forth for a bit looking for some additional detail that would tie in with the rest of the guitar. One of the defining visual features of the guitar is the 3 dimensional rosette and the pillow top sculpted headstock. Stevied63 suggested an oval within the oval and that mixed with some sculpting got us on the path of something new! Thanks for following along! Mark
