I love seeing the different grains of wood wet down !!! The person has a rough choice to make on the Master model !!!! Hope they have as much fun as I have with my Number 10 Master model you made for me a few batches Back !!!! Keep up the Great work My Friend and God Bless!!!!

You're very kind, thank you for the nice comments.

I wonder if you could call cutting out the neck parts a “nexit”? Some of those scraps would make great pens, if you have a friend with a lathe - something I haven’t tried yet. It often occurs to me that compared to furniture makers, Luthiers really don’t use nearly as much wood as people might think, given the surface area we cover in what we build. Cool looking jig with the cam clamps! Always appreciate your videos, thank you.

Gosh dang, where did you find that big honkin maple board???

[@jonathanhirtle7263]

What a tough decision.

[@markmelville6670]

Why would you cut a board like that in half if you could use it for a one piece back?

[@RatliffMandolins]

The curl will show better and more intensely if it's cut that way.
