Day 18 - Cutting the sound hole, carving the harmonic bars, and sanding the lattice

I cut a piece of plywood to fit under where the sound hole would go.

I drilled thought the sound board into the plywood.

I cut the sound hole with a dremmel. The plywood gave the anchor for the dremmel additional depth for stability.

I carved the harmonic bars with a chisel.

I sanded the lattice bracing.

I revisited the back braces to carve the edges down further. 

I cut channels in the sides for the back braces to go.

I carved the channels until all the back could sit tight against the sides.
