Well got my three backs down to thickness, or pretty close. I may work the cherry one a bit more. Just resting on the sides for a bit of inspiration.
Either its my poor scraping job, or I may see a bit of figure in that cherry back. Hard to see in photos but spots shine in certain light, just a bit.
What to do next? I have some neck blanks glued up and can work on those. Just got some veneer in and I can glue up purfling and bindings. Probably take the spruce out of the freezer tomorrow and cook it again, before anything can be done with the tops.
Still a ton to do. Its different building this way, you get to see a lot of big parts go together right up front, but all the little detail is still ahead.
