E-minor7 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 In this frenzy of chaos, collapse, desorientation and demise, it is a good cure to see some healing goin' on. A luthier named David Richard does his best and shows the path. Very impressing, , , hope the 1934 L Century went back to full voice and timbre. Looks like it. .

j45nick Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 That looks like it might be a laminated back . It seems thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Well, that's certainly one way to find out: Lam, or solid(anyone gotta guess?) : . . . and isn't that type of warping of the back more of a ply-thing, as opposed to solid wood? Also shows how thick the finish can be at the edges. However, I can't see anything in photo 1 of the OP to justify having to cut out part of the side. (?)

In the close-up, it appears to be solid, but it still seems thick, especially compared to the backing cleat that was put in. I had the same reaction you did to cutting out the side, but it looks like it might be a bit crushed. Hard to second-guess the decision without a first-hand inspection. He did a nice job nonetheless.

Murph Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 A sheetrock screw with a fender washer would have been quicker. I'm kidding... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thought about giving it a steam shower then press it down with grandma's electric iron and grandpa's soft hammer. You're an animal, Murph, , , hahe, , got that phrase from you.
