Pat- It's looking good. It's also great to see a bench with some tools that don't look like they were made yesterday! (Still a bit too neat, but there's hope for you yet!) 
Cheers John |

Thanks, Hesh. John, I like those old tools. I like how some of them have picked up mojo in their working lives. |

Pat, Yes! Looking real good!
Very neat work on the braces! Curious though, why the hole in the brace? Could it be access to the truss rod nut? Robert |

Very graceful parabolic braces. Beautiful to look at. |

Sure looks good to me. Nice clean work. It'll look good inside for sure. |

Thanks for the kind words, all. This time (#3, with #2 still in the wings), I've matched the resonant pitch of the top and back per Alan Carruth's generous posts here and elsewhere. If all goes well, the top will drop a half-step or so with the bridge on and I'll get smooth response with the back adding to the top's output. Here's hoping! |

whats parabolic bracing? |

Jeremy, Parabolic describes (sometimes approximately) the shape of the braces, in their profile along their length and also in cross-section. This search of the archives should give you some background. |
