Day 31 - Cutting the sound port and filing the headstock

I glued the heel cap to the bottom of the heel.

I shaped the headstock so that the strings will not touch the wood between the nut and the tuning keys.

I created a cardboard template for where the sound port will go.

I dried holes to create a rough cut of the sound port.

I smoothed the sound port with a drum sander attached to a drill.

Bonus! I can see inside the guitar through the sound port.

There was a small gap between the side and the binding so I filled this with epoxy and rosewood dust.

I filled the gaps under the frets with epoxy and ebony dust.
