Guitar Making – Joining A Guitar Body Cap

Roughing out the book matched stack with a power edge sander

 

Behold the beautiful alignment of the burls outer skin
Using a shooting block to further tame and square the edges
Using the slab for the final truing against a fence
Using two fences clamped down tight with wedge clamp blocks to put the squeeze on.
A center weight and two clamps keep the seam flush
Rorschach imagery of the finest kind
Locating the splendor of the buckeye burl within the silhouette of the translucent body template
