Now for edge work. I used one of my tailed devils (circular saw) and a chalk line to mark and saw the edges. I wasn’t up to rip sawing 8/4 hard maple. As it turned out I still had to finish the cut with a rip saw. My 6” saw boss didn’t have quite enough blade depth. Used the line to check an edge. Put a tongue depressor under each end to get a look see. Used a jack plane to clean it up. Took a few minutes to get it to what I consider just right. With the string laying flat I could run a .003 gauge under the string without moving the string. This is about what the bend of the string imparts at the corner. A .004 gauge wood hit a bit. A.006 gauge would move the string all along the edge, not drag it but just move it. I’ll call it good. It’s likely not for everyone. It works for me especially on longer work.
