so I made a new end block to sprread the walls out to fit the neck. It has my new patented foot extension to better support the pegbox stresses. I put in a couple of pegs to align the holes whilst clamping.

so I strung it up and discoverd to my amazement - a very unique feature. Can you tell what it is? The first correct answer gets a free tour of Dr. Oud's workshop.

YES! Congratulations. Your prize can be claimed in Vancouver, WA. (or equivalent value $.50) U2U for directions. Well, that wasn't so hard after all so the next quiz will be tougher. I'll leave the first peg out to string it up right handed and see how it sounds. The bracing looks pretty symmetrical as much as I can see anyway.

Thank you Doc. I'll come by if I am in the area. BTW, I like the fingerboard pattern. I thought maybe there is a 3-D shape hidden in there...
