There is usually enough scrap from the back to book match a head plate.

Have you tried rotating the head plate to center the dark stripe vertically? Looks like it would be close, although I can’t see your headstock shape.

It sounds like you got a set of that fabled stinker rosewood from Mumbai.

Wet Rosewood smells like a pony to me.

A thought
Which end of the pony?

Ok. We're in business. Not saying it's perfectly symmetrical, but it's what we'll call good enough.
Pretty sure redir was right and I didn't have the pipe hot enough last time.

Got the heel and neck block glued in. A bit of creative clamping seems par for the course.

Just a suggestion...
The dowels are there, in part, to clamp the sides to. If the dowels - and their slots - are in the right places, you don't really need various scraps of plywood to straddle the dowels. For example, having a dowel at the narrowest point in the waist and at the widest points in the upper and lower bouts allows you to clamp the sides to those important locations. |

Yeah, when I made it I was still planning on building a dreadnaught. Extending the slots to facilitate a 000-12 meant that dowels didn't line up as well.

And, after letting it sit overnight, we have a thing that's beging to look like something. Got a little black paint from the pipe in there that needs to be sanded off.

I like your use of reversed clamps.

Why do the sides stand proud of the neck block?
