HERE IT IS...the completed soundbox!!!! The edges of the top and back still overhang the sides. I will trim that away next.

I'm holding the soundbox in the guitar vise I made with old pipe clamps . On top of the soundbox is the mini-drawknife I will use to trim away the overhang of the top and back.

 

 

 

Here are front and back views of the final, trimmed soundbox.

 

To the left is a view of the neck-end part of the soundbox. The top hole is for access to the truss rod, and the bottom two holes are for the bolts for the bolt-on neck.
