Fascinating seeing the process unfold. I was checking your blog as well, which adds even more of the steps. The laminated linings (in the blog photos) look quite substantial. Is that to add to the stiffness of the laminated sides? In a more "traditional" build style, the linings are kerfed, I assume, to reduce mass and weight.

I read your interesting blog post of tone wood choice based on the particular use and sound desired. I wondered what guided you in the choice of the woods for your own build?

I started working on that top very shortly after arriving, before going over the tonewood selection with Ervin. I chose it from a few that the other apprentice Louis Manteau had. Some of the things that guided the choice were a good stiffness to weight, pleasing tap tone, even colour, and I thought European Spruce would be a good choice for an OM, for a balanced and responsive instrument.
