Carving a Mold for Pressing Top and Back

This is the mold which will be used for giving the right shape/contour to the top and back plates of the guitar. Four veneers will be "vacuum" pressed onto this mold, once it is completed. >> more on this later.




Top and back will be laminated with 1/16th maple core (spruce center) veneers and a .023 outer flamed maple veneer.  Total plate thickness is .200".
