Hey, this is a build I've been working on for a bit. A couple pics of my mandolins slipped in too.

I also bend with a heated pipe, but I like to get the rough shape first like this.

I cut circles and route some rosette channels on my routing table.

Lookin' good!

I like your headstock shape.

And that's one honker of a tail block! Any particular reason to make it that thick?
