Hey guys/gals!
just a quickie, got a really nice bocote set i got from bruce dickey a while back.
sides are bent, back is joined and thcknessed and, well, i also inlayed two purfling strips along the back(see pic). they dont go to deep...id say a still got around 1.5-2 mm of wood left there.
think i should put any reinforcements on the inside or not?

Udi.
