And this will be the back
A really fancy book matched set of East Indian Rosewood with matching sides. Ought to be lovely when sanded and finished with French Polish
The sound board will be this SonarTested Lutz Spruce from Pacific Rim Tonewood. A Kasha baritone requires 23 Sitka Spruce tone bars carefully shaped. Here they are just ready to whittle, cut to length and placed in their approximate positions. I will carve them with a sharp Exacto knife. Always a fun part of the build.
