The sides are pre-bent, then laminated. 2mm cocobolos sides are still really stiff, so it have to be perfectly bent before to laminate them. You can't really force them in place.

For the side braces... these are only 4, sitting on the two big transverse braces. The sides don't need braces, they won't crack, they won't move. These 4 braces are more to create a really solid structure with the tranverse braces, in the upper bout. I want to ''couple'' the top and the sides. Maybe it is not necessary, but it can't be too much. I want to upper bout to be really stiff and stable.

And for the strike... it's going on since over 2 months now... And I'll probably lose my diploma because of that... [headinwall]
