Englemann soundboard glued together- jointed seam is very good. I dont think I could have done any better.
Indian Rosewood back plate - the joint is a little disappointing, a few uneven (raised) spots that I will have to plane/sand down during the thicknessing process. Next time I will have to using more pressure on the seam when glueing to get a flatter resulting seam/joint.
Also, if I had my time over again i would have jointed the 2 outside edges (straighter grain) leaving the curvy grain on the outer which would be removed when cutting the shape of the back plate. The side visible in the photo will likely been inside the guitar as the grain on the underside has slightly been symmetry and better definition.
(those marks on the lefthand side of the back plate are from the excess glue oozing between the timbre and the wax paper. again then will plane off very easily).
