Had a few sick days to deal with, but I completed some design issues, glued up the book-matched cedar top, and sanded it. I worked out the bracing pattern, drew it out as a plan and then transferred it to the bottom side of the cedar top. Finally, I put a couple coats of sealer on the top to protect it as I continue working on it, with the side benefit of seeing what it’ll look like under finish. I was really amazed at how close in color this new cedar top looks compared to the 70 year-old spruce top on my old Gibson… sweet!
