Slapping together a sprue top in between tasks!
I've overlooked this top a couple of times because of the sap pocket, but I felt a bit sorry for it, so i decided to give it a try and found it will work great with one of my smaller models!
All is well!

Been routing for a couple of rosettes consisting of black/white/black purfling which I've pre-laminated with epoxy.
To be able to fit the purfling into the slot i need to bend it, so i soak the purfling strips in a bucket of water, and then bend them around something round with the same diameter as the rosette, and leave them to dry.
Inlaying them after that is a walk in the park ☺️

A nut for a classical guitar made from moose bone

A nut for a classical guitar made from moose bone which I've sourced from local charcuterie producers, who usually considers these bone parts to be waste. Instead of them throwing it away i take care of it and give it new life in the form of guitar parts!
Partly gruesome work, but very rewarding since the quality is great!

Bending the maple cutaway on a model S-1.
Three layers consisting of the outermost reddish heat mat, and then the 0.3 mm thick steel plate (you might wanna zoom for this) that keeps any wood fibers from breaking away rather than bending, and then the 1,6mm maple cutaway!
It's a tricky operation, but patience is the key here, Slow and steady!
