The cavity covers as going to be Mahogany as well, using 4mm thick faceplate pieces. First things first, I need to work out what shape they will be, so I made the body template. This is also a shot of the work in action, nothing high tech here – a workmate bench and some random clamps and making it up as I go along….
Once these holes were cut I used a hand saw and sandpaper to shape the faceplates to the correct shape.
