I'm not good at finishing things but I know how to start them. Documenting them online motivates me to keep at it.

This build is inspired by the first guitar I ever played: a plywood Kay folk size made of plywood, but also with inspiration of Martin's 18 series. Since I enjoy making jigs and not spending money on them I opted to make my own mold and bending forms.

I'm still in the process of finishing up my 3rd build but I opted to start this one this year while the lessons I'd learned were still sort of fresh in my mind.

I made some progress with this build up until I put it on the back burner in October. The sides are bent, the rims are about 95% complete, the back is braced and the top is awaiting being braced. I’m waiting for the humidity to stabilize corm spring. My furnace has a humidifier on it but it doesn’t do a great job.
