so over spring break (last week - it was fantastic, thanks for asking) I got pretty much done...
I finished bracing the back and glued on the back (using ropes and clamps this time instead of weights)
I routed the back binding channel - I've decided to use wood binding instead of the typical plastic - I'm using some eastern walnut from some trees on our farm that blew over in an icestorm a couple of weeks ago, its nice looking wood - alot less of a chocolate walnut color as more of a lighter color with a slight reddish tint.
I finished the neck and drilled a hole for the truss rod access
Its all coming together and hopefully I'll be able to finish it before the summer (the day after graduation I'm going to start on a 3-4 week hike on the Appalachian trail)
