Here we go...

I'm using plans from LMI. The guitar is based on Martin's OM model.


Two sitka spruce soundboard pairs were purchased from Alaska Specialty for $8@


I also bought some sitka splits for the braces


The tools I have been using so far


Rather than making templates and forms from plans like I've done in the past, I took the lazy way out


I milled the sitka splits on the tabla saw to the dimensions shown on the plan. To rough cut the sweep on the brace tops, I used a jewelers saw then went to planes, rasps and sandpaper to finish.
