Shaping

I did some more shaping. It's all in the details. The sides of the body needed some more fine-tuning. With a little hand plane I removed small layers until I got to the right height of the body. Next up was the top. In order to get the outline on the top I clamped the body on to the top on a table. The symmetry was brought in by forcing the waist inwards with a glue clamp:

Now the outline of the body can be transffered to the body with a pencil. With an electric fretsaw the top was cut to its rough shape (with about a centimeter tolerance). The top is about 5 mm thick. It should be brought back to somewhere between 2 and 3 mm. With a hand plane I planed off a good 2 mm. Hence the pile of wood shavings:

And last but not least all the kerflings are glued in and as you can see I also drawn out where the sound port should come:
