Bob I really appreciate that offer but I have decided to stop using the reversed kerfing. I have developed a taste for the triangular kerfing after looking inside a Santa Cruz guitar. Something about it. It looks delicate and minimal.

I am a fan of triangular Kerfing, I like mine in Mahogany a bit harder to use, but I like the joint between sides and top to be stiff as my theory is it has less of a dampening effect on the top.

The only thing I don't like about triangular is if it is going to break that usually occures on the waist, where if not joined nicely it could be very visable.

I'm with you Russell.
   I have taken to bending my kerfing over a hot pipe to help make sure it does not break. Nothing you do can hide that break. It just sticks out and shouts "look at me"
   I think that is a luthier affliction, only looking at mistakes rather than the good stuff, but that is what happens when customers get the guitar. They scrutinize it for flaws.
