PRODUCTIVE  MORNING

I sanded the back and side pieces down a bit farther this morning, down to the point where I wanted to glue the backs together before sanding them to the final .075 thickness.
Then I selected the Mastergrade Redwood that I will be using for soundboards.  This is the wood from the New York City rooftop water tank.  What wonderful fine grained Redwood.  It tests with a high pitched ring.

Count the growth rings per inch.  Wow!

Now it is time to glue the backs together.  The joint has to be perfect, and this is how I do it.  I put a long strip of sandpaper on the flat saw table top and slight the rip fence over it.  Now I can sand the edge using the rip fence to keep it at 90 degrees.  Remember to sand in only one direction.  Back and forth sanding will result in dipped ends.
