Back material is a premium grade Brazilian RW. Unfortunately, size is very small and barely enough to cut a back for classical model. However, this back is not large enough for my back making process. Actuary, the back making needs an extra half inch for gluing and assembly work. So, I added two tiny pieces to make the back material large enough for this guitar making. You may see the first photo that has two small triangle pieces for filling empty spaces. This portion will not be used for the completed guitar. However, I need this portion during this guitar making process. Now the book match jointed back is large enough for the back. You may see the back has pretty good straight grains. This level of perfectly quarter-swan Brazilian RW back is very hard to obtain.
The book match joint for the top is also completed. This top has almost perfect cross section of grain. Year rings are quite tight. Tap tone of this material is amazing.
