Finally, I closed the box. I usually assemble the back first, because I am able to clean the excess glue. Excess glue will be visible; therefore, I have to clean-up nicely. Before install the top, I applied three coats of shellac to the top. I have to avoid contamination for the glue line on the top. The top shown below is the final voiced top. Side bars have very deep scalloping for the best vibration. Although, the photo does not show the shellac coating in the back, I applied three coats of shellac to the back, before closing the box. The last photo shows the clumping for the top gluing.
Next week, I move to the neck making.
