Thanks for posting the pics Donald.
The body will be all Basswood. I believe I made the carved shaped shoulderboard the same way Frank Marshall made his. The Mountain Dew is nessary to the procedure. Jim |

Thanks for posting the pics Donald.
The shoulder board, bottom board and sides are all basswood. The ribs are cane spline and halfround reed ,lightweight,strong and resilent. This is similar to what Frank Marshall used. Jim |

I decided the middle brace was not needed as the body is very sturdy without it and there is now a very roomy interior for max manipulation of head.
