Back Bracing DONE

So last night I finished up gluing in the brace wood and let it sit overnight.  I worked all day in shifts today carving these braces by hand with chisels, a small palm plane, and then just sanding by hand to keep the contours rounded.  My hand and arm are sore as hell.   Here's where I'm at now:




*edit*  I meant to add that if they look slightly off center, its due to two factors.  A)I used the lines from the original braces to line up the edges of the new ones, and B)I carved them by hand, so they aren't 100% perfect.
