Planing the top

Well the glue has now dried and now it needs planing flat.

 

After flattening I trimmed the excess edges marked out the body outline and cut the 'f' holes.  Now it's flat it's definitely too thin to do a carved top, so a simple flat drop it is!


Tried the band saw again and it cut through the beech wood like a knife through butter.  I did need to make some relief cuts on the tighter curves.


And with some lighter fluid to highlight the grain, I think this is going to look very nice!
