I used the bending box to bend the pliage but the heat lamp was a little too hot and actually charred the top. We are choosing to call that burn"character" and will blame it on a Gitanes cigarrette. The sound hole was routed out for the rosette. The remaining wood in the channel is extremely thin measuring about .75 mm thick. The seam joint down the center isn't perfect (as shown by the backlight) but I hope that the reinforcing veneer on the back together with the heel and neck block will keep it all together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f8cc34e4b0f2dbc7fe1534/1441498573542-7DH40G65Q4M8A2TFXF63/image-asset.jpeg Gypsy Guitar Project Blog https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f8cc34e4b0f2dbc7fe1534/1445909578223-HSQ5YV17IM992LSXGC12/image-asset.jpeg Gypsy Guitar Project Blog I put the purling in strip by strip and then flooded the inlay with thin super glue. Once it was dry I cut the tips where they met in a haphazard way and inlayed an ebony "key." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53f8cc34e4b0f2dbc7fe1534/1445909747522-93K91CC86CKFCHY4E7MW/image-asset.jpeg Gypsy Guitar Project Blog I glued the top braces on using an improvised go-bar deck built from an old Ikea kitchen cart. I wasn't sure how to get a proper radius dish for the bottom and being a cheapskate couldn't bear the idea of shelling out $80 on eBay for a CNC milled one. I took a sheet of masonite and drilled a hole in the center and then put a bolt and washer through the hole and tightened it down creating a dished surface. The gypsy top isn't really a dome anyway but the system seemed to work pretty well. I used ripped pine and maple sticks of various lengths as the go-bars. You get a really good view of the charred pliage in this photo. I flooded that with thin super glue hoping that that would help strengthen what must be somewhat compromised wood fiber.
