Colin, are your sides the same width all the way around? If not, how do you handle moving the lining down the sides in the upper bout while going around them?


Craig, it looks like you are using kerfed linings with a thin cap on them. Is an accurate description?

Yes , that's basically it Lillian, except that the kerfed part isn't wedge shape. It also has a rebate to accept the capping for a flush fit.

Cheers , Craig Lawrence

I use a normal 15' back and 25' top. Pre-profile the back before bending, and install the linings as normal. Then sand in the dishes.

I wish wish wish I could buy my linings. But since I build reproductions of old Weissenborns, which feature funky shop made linings, I have to make them the same way also to get the look but also lighter weight because of the smaller body size than a regular acoustic.

Who is the man to call if you want funky custom made linings out of a specific material?



I use those same funky linings on my ladder braced guitars and have to make them myself, but I'll not be making yours since It's not my favorite thing either. I usually just suffer thru making as many as I can tolerate so I don;t have to do it too often.

I use the same method as Colin (got the idea from him!) and will never go back to anything else, unless I'm doing a very accurate replica or something. The laminated solid linings are my favorite of anything i've tried.

Don't you have a funky adjustable jig so you just shoot your plane across the top of these?

I really need a jig so I can do this.
