And I make mine with a radius and put a little flat into the sound board for the finger board. There'll probably a 3rd way in just a few minutes as well. I've done it both ways, but prefer this way. |

you will find that there are basically three groups; those who radius, and those who leave it flat, as well as those who partially radius it leaving the portion under the fb extension flat. all different ways that poor mistreated cat keeps losing his skin. most of those who radius it then sand a flat on the top under the fb extension. a jig for this process is shown in the jigs link at top. i fall into this group. |

I realize what an old topic this must be but I REALLY appreciate the beginner's help. I'll radius and then flatten. Thanks Larry |

Flat in the center and then taper the sides to a radius. |
