Preparing the sides.

At the time I received the sides they where about 5 mm thick. Before I could start bending them I had to loose about 2 mm. I first tried to plane it by hand. Since maple (and especially flamed maple) has a lot of grooves, this did not work very well. So we had to use a router to carefully remove small strips at a time: When finished routing I sanded the edges, left by the router, away.
