After fair bit of experimentation (some with dangerous consequences), some new wood thicknessing jigs, and some new clamping techniques, I have finally been able to build a very nice bridge root that consists of continuous laminae throughout the entire length of the bridge. I had been building them where some laminae terminate at doglegs (which is much easier, quicker, and I still like quite a bit), but I have a client that wished for the continuous type, and so here it is: The picture below shows the treble dogleg (at right) and the tenor/treble dogleg (at left). Below is a close-up of the tighter tenor/treble dogleg. Check out the nicely quarter-sawn hard maple laminae! (Almost looks like a hunk of warped Delignit - except for no dark glue lines - epoxy BABY!) Oh, and yes, of course, operators are standing by. ;-) Terry Farrell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
