Second Side

The side I bent last week has been clamped up for 7 days now so time to get it out and bent the second one. I removed the clamps and there was not much spring back.

It is now sitting in the instrument mold clamed up a little bit to settle more and waiting for its counterpart.

Speaking of which, it was in the process of being bent. I found a juice jar which I could use for this one.

After soaking in boiling water for about 15 minutes...

 ... it is clamped up. It will remain clamped for another 7 days.

Last week I bought a piece of Walnut which will serve as the neck. Also I bought wooden linings and cut them to size.
