Marshwood Acoustic, Chapter 2, The Back

The maple back of this guitar was glued on today. Before this could take place small notches on the sides of the guitar had to be cut to accept the back braces (pictures). This was done with a fine saw and files. Then the back was glued and clamped using the Go-Bar-Deck (picture). This is a stressful time but everything went OK (picture). Tomorrow I will look to joining the Douglas Fir top and create a rosette.
