A BETTER DAY TODAY

11/26/2019

I thinned this nice East Indian Rosewood down today, using planer and thickness sander.  Took the sides down to .080 or a hair less.  The new back was left thicker while I glue the two pieces together, then I will thin it.

After trimming the sides to final shape I took them to the hot pipe.  This wood cooperated and I got a very nice bend that will sit in the mold to dry and set up for a coupLe of days.  The new back is glued together and in the clamps.  I will cut it to shape and thin it down tomorrow.

I like the color of the new EIR better than the one you cracked bending. May just be the light.

No matter, it's going to be one heck of an instrument.
