Sides destroyed...

All went well til the last few inches. A cracking noise woke me from
my dreams of a totally succesful day. Cufk tish sips.

Now where's that spare mahogany...

Bending sides

So the sides got sanded to proper thickness, and I'm gonna bend 'em!

A burst of activity!

This, possibly the worst pic on the web, shows the scarf joint on the
neck. It's lying on the sander, that unexpectedly decided to work a
lot better today.
