So sunday I actually got there on time. First thing to do was flush rout the body since the cap was cut out slightly larger.
Now that i look at it, that was the before picture, and there was no after between here and the next step. So after flush routing, the cap got routed down to where the body bindings will sit as a referrence point for the top carving.
After that, I got to carving. Ian had let me use his palm planes so it would go a little faster. Mine is only like 18mm I think, he's got one 2-3x that size. Aftermaking progress around the edge, I used rasps and sanding dowels to smooth it out before starting again. I'll just put up all the pics of the progress in action now.
I'll just post those to keep this less graphic heavy. I'll post the neck pics in a different post in a minute.
