I'll shave these back tomorrow to just over height before adding the other smaller braces.

Progressed a little without photos sorry (camera fixed to telescope).
Anyway getting close to closing the box. Marriage strip down the back and upper harmonic brace still to be fitted. The soundboard braces now have their tow/resin bonded to both sides, the back braces are fitted and a tail splash has been fitted that mimics the purflings.

Been busy on this. The back is now fitted and in the go-bar as I type...

Back reinforcement strip added and the upper harmonic bar has also been fitted. Sides are notched ready to take the soundboard - probably late today or tomorrow morning...
