Sounds good to me.
This tool also doubles nicely as a fret hammer.
Of course I always try to use the correct tool for the job

James, I always enjoy seeing a true artist at work regardless of how crude the tools are.

Hahaha, I love the first picture. First you giggle at the fact that you're using a sledgehammer, then you notice the earmuffs used during the voicing process... glorious! 
Did the beers in the second picture have anything to do with this new build process?

 Very funny James buddy and you have me in stitches here But don't you think that it's about time that you employed the use of some newer technology - perhaps a chain saw? See ya next month! |

James- Hilarious! I see that you're wearing your hat in the '30-point IQ reduction' position noted by Rick Turner a few weeks ago.
Cheers John |

James, I too found this very funny. Thanks for the Sunday evening laugh. One question for you. You have what looks like two lower tone bar braces positioned for a lefty but the cutaway is for a standard righty, trying something different? |

Is that Dos Equis Luthier Elixir? You use the good stuff along with that double bit luthier brace shaving tool. |

I guess this thread will bring everyone back to the "how rough is too rough" debate?!? Jamie |

Rod that`s very observant of you.The reason I wanted to try this was because since the cutaway part is missing I figured I could loosen up the top a bit on the cutaway side by the tone bars not being attached to the X brace,at least in the lower bout.I also considered just 1 finger brace in the upper bout on the cutaway side ,but chickened out after all the curly redwood explosion talk that`s been going around.Visually to me it makes since.Right now the top actually sound pretty darn good .We`ll see what happens.
