Day 17 - Carving the lattice bracing

I carved the lattice so that it thins out towards the edges using a chisel and a small plane. 

I thinned the tops of the lattice bracing with a chisel.

I used an electric nail file to clean up the edges and remove any remaining shavings. 

I remade the sound hole strengthening piece to be a better fit. 

I glued the strengthening piece to the soundboard.
