That looks like a beauty of shape as well; excited to see this one come together!

I didin't knew that Sergei de Jonge was the one behind this! This is the first time I am using this technique and I love it so far!

Thank you for you kind word and for clarifying the credits!

The back is now ready to receive the bracing!



The rosette is finish, now I have to reinforce the soundhole, and brace it!



And the side are ready to receive both!

Love the laminating technique.

As with so many builds, some of the internal, unseen parts of a guitar can be really attractive in their own right.

The top bracing are sculpted and fit to the sides!

Thanks for the thread with such good pics of your laminating process. Might have to give it a try. Looks like a great idea to me. Russ
