Bracing and Voicing a Classical Guitar Soundboard

No music, no talk, just the craft and its sounds.
This is the Soundboard of my guitar #10, 'Benu'.
A beautiful and light aged Red Western Cedar that will pair with the back and sides of 'Green Ebony'. The bracing is my take on the traditional 7-Fan Bracing System, based in Hauser, with inspirations from Friederich for the Cedar.
I make more than one guitar at a time. Still working on 'Avenir' and 'Nova' and will share some news very soon!
I make Chladni Patterns using sine waves to drive the resonant modes of the braced soundboard. This way I can visually examine the stiffness distribution over the whole Soundboard, and then act accordingly. The relative position of the resonant modes also gives me insight into how the guitar will eventually sound. This particular soundboard was especially resonant, making some beautiful patterns very easily.
