Thanks Barry - clever, interesting and fun method - took a few tries - but finally got it. Thank you for sharing. As you can see I have a couple bulges on either side - the original you made did not have them - not sure where I went wrong yet. Also, putting finishes this week on the two arch tops I milled from your models last year. It's fun to finally have the time to learn how you did it (recently hired a helper in the shop)! Now on to trying your methods with a different guitar from scratch - that should only take a few months if I'm lucky.
