been awhile. new project in the works

So last weekend I was at my uncle's 70th birthday party and was asked by my aunt to build a guitar for her granddaughter's upcoming birthday.  Gave her a few options, and we agreed on a slightly scaled down version of my Gibson L-00 mold.  I gathered some materials this week, and got started on the mold and neck blank over the past 2 days.

template i made by tracing my larger mold and scaling it down about 20%

gluing up some 2x6's for the mold

with the template traced on

I'm hoping to get the sides bent this weekend, stay tuned for more updates.
