Chubbuck Mousa 003 :: flattening pie-cut maple.
Here I'm truing up the bottom of one half of the back plate to prep for joining. In the past I have used a Safe T Planer in my drill press to take out the cup but opted to try hand planing for greater control. A wider jointer would be ideal though.
Chubbuck Mousa 003 :: European maple top, back and sides.
Getting ready to flatten and join the top and back plate wedges for the next hollowbody build. The sides need to be profiled before they are ready for the bending iron.
