hi, I start to build my first mando, so any advice for top thicknes I should start will be great. Mando is flat top (maybe it will be domed, still don't decide) and teardrop style, scale 361mm. Pic show my current progress best Fric |

Thus far all mine have a 1/4" radius on the bracefrom front to back and 3/16" from side to side , the tops have been approx 1/8" to 3/16" thick and wetted and bent to the curve on the bracing. |

3mm will be fine for a top thickness on a flat-top. It will be better to arch it a little with the bracing, and around a 2-3mm rise at the centre will work well cheers graham |
