well heres my first photos of the build...I got this at a craft store but after trying them ! They really did'nt work so I had to go back to the wood strips
I think they were to thin and hard to work with..

Ron,
Looking good !! Great use of wood. Are you making two all mahogany harp guitars at the same time?
