Thursday

I am polishing frets today. The first two frets are almost done and you can see that they are shinier:

When I finish I put "Mandy" aside and start on making a bridge. (I dressed the fret ends first):

The bridge blank that I am using is a rough blank of 8"x2.08"x .52:

I will need to joint one long side and face. Then I will thickness sand the other face smooth. After that I will cut a 6"x1 3/8" bridge blank out of that. Then I thickness sand the blank to a little over .35":
