preparing the mahogany 000 for closure

This is Dave's mahogany 000 guitar. 

The top is cylindrical rather than spherical so the edges of the sides must be sanded to a cylindrical shape.
I do this on a cylindrical work board with sand paper attached.  Just rub the sides back and forth until the edges are true.

mission accomplished.  Here again you see the laminated linings and side and back braces inlet into those braces

View of the top bracing pattern.  Lots of scalloping here
