Very interesting. Looking forward to following along over the next new weeks.

Thank you gentlemen!

I hope you'll cover the significance and use of slab cut fronts. What's normal, how is this different, and how is it used with all the types of instruments?

This is great! Looking forward to following along :^)

I used slab cut cherry back, sides and neck for my first, it was a real joy to work with and sounds pretty nice to my untrained ear! I'm using walnut for my second 😊
