I should mention, left wing, tree hugging, environmentalist radical that =
I am, that the spruce used in that brace is from backposts from the old =
Starr upright that I learned to tune on......

Finally, that Starr has been put to good use!

Obviously, I need to go to bed now...... - no, I think I go build a =
soundboard panel!

  Yup, go into the brace a few inches from the belly rail or rim on a 45 =
degree or so angle and go through the brace into the rail/rim. I like to =
use red oak dowels (hard/strong and very porous for epoxy) and I drill =
the hole oversize and epoxy in place. Below is a picture of a brace I =
installed. You can see two dowels in the top - one through the brace and =
into the rail and the other through the belly rail and into the brace.
