I decided to make the back a 3 piece back instead of 2. I've run a tapered middle section and then 2 pieces of curley maple, striking! I started the shaping process on the pin router using a topographic template to get the arch started.

Today I cut and fit the braces for the top.They are made of a sandwich of spruce and .039 carbon fiber epoxied together. They are smaller than standard but way stiffer.Ill be gluing they in this week.

Newly pin routed f-holes for Rockers arch top looks awesome. Next up, braces for the spruce top.

Topo templates and a new sanding disc for flattening the rims and linings before gluing. F-hole pin rout placement test and carved spruce top waiting for f-holes.
