Chop-Chop

The main work is done for the head. The Spanish heel lamination is done and ready to be carve, totally for the inside part and roughly for the outside one.

Crescent Head

The head is going on with various tasks which require carefull and precision.

Summer waves…

It is always nice to reach this step, to see the main part of the instrument’s shape appear.
I attach great importance to the quality of the lamination of the 2 layers of solid wood. I always have in mind other approaches using fewer clamps, but I’m so used working this way, a method that gives me perfect result meeting my expectations every time.
