I have acquired a really beautiful exotic ebony back and side set. Just joined the back and all is good but it came in 4 pieces. My question is do you need to use three centre seam strips ? One for each of the plate joints. I'm not sure if Mark is monitoring the community atm otherwise I'd send him an email or call. Anyone else come across this ?
TIA

I would say yes to the seam back graphs going up. There was ... I believe ... a live stream that mark talked about that and he showed a 3 piece back he had and it had two back graphs in it. It would just make fitting the ladder bracing a little more involved. Put a picture in when you have it done so people could see it. 🙂
do you need to use three centre seam strips ?
Hi Mikey, If you mean the cross grain reinforcements on the internal side of the back then I would certainly recommend that you do this for all of the joints. It might make fitting the cross braces a bit more fiddly but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Thanks for the quick reply @darrenking I thought as much so will need some more bracing pieces then 🙂
Hope all is well with you
Mike
