01 kerfing Radius dish, linings and side braces – the rim is ready for the plates The rim went onto the radius dish — the edges of the sides were sanded to the arch of the top and the back, each a different one. Then I glued in the linings (reverse-kerfed, mahogany), which give the plates a gluing surface, and side braces (also mahogany), so that a crack, should one ever happen, doesn’t run the full height of the side. The rim is ready for the plates. 02 Making and gluing the neck block and tail block For the blocks I used mahogany, the same as for the sides. I trimmed the sides to length. I fitted the neck block to the rounded end of the mold and shaped the tail block to the curve of the lower bout. I glued both in place in the mold, joining the sides into a closed rim. For the first time, the body has its shape. 03 Thinning and bending the sides. For the sides of my first guitar I chose American mahogany. I rough-cut them to profile — the final contour will be sanded in later on the radius dish — then thicknessed them to the target thickness and bent them on the bending iron. After bending, I left them to cool and set in the body mold.
