@wolframmalukker I went for a simpler "f-hole". I just did a weight relief chamber on one side of the body and added the f-hole for looks.

I forgot to seal the inside of the chamber for moisture, though. 🙂 

Picked this up again today, did some looking and measuring again, and I have settled on a back access shape. Now I can finally move forward on the body, and hopefully that'll push me into tackling the neck and neck attachment.

I am really wanting to do the Taylor electric single-bolt neck. I may not be able to do it properly on this body shape due to the exposed neck in the lower access cutout area but that just means I'll need to build another some other time.

I have too many open project files and not enough bandwidth to keep 'em all moving forward at once, unfortunately.

@wolframmalukker sounds like you need to clear some space, I'd try and just focus on one, get it over the finish line then the next and so on. I find it can get to stressful spreading yourself to thin.

I'll make a start on a 2nd if I'm waiting on parts or waiting on finish curing but as soon as is possible I'll go back to the 1st and get it done and dusted.

So I worked on getting the top ready to glue down today, but it's not gonna go together easily. I flexed the top a little today, and heard a little pop but can't find a crack or split yet.

I'm gonna try to dry heat the bend area and slowly bend it down til it matches the body. I don't want to steam it because it'll discolor the wood and I worry the titebond original joint will come unglued.
