Question for any builder here....
any concerns re; oil rub finish on the body vs. laquer/french polish/poly?
Also, thoughts about stability issues re; grooving the back of the top vs the front?
Seems like grooving the face of the top, the issues have to do with compressive stress, while if you grooved the back of the top, you are dealing more with tensile stress questions.
