Side material cut and block making

Side material laminate was completed last week. I cut side material precisely for fitting the mold. This process requires very detailed and precise cutting and adjustment to get perfect fit to inside the mold. I also completed neck and bottom block making. Tail block has a laminate configuration using different grain direction. Spanish ceder has horizontal grain and Rosewood veneer has vertical grain. This combination makes a lightest and strongest block. Neck block also will be added a vertical grained rose wood veneer for the reinforcement. Next week, I will assemble all blocked inside sides.
