After working with 2 different CNC guys in the midwest I'm back to doing everything in house. Found a good supplier of genuine mahogany. This is a 5/4, 14 3/4" x 42" board.
Tuned up the bandsaw with 1/2" wide 3 TPI Olson blade.
Titebonded the edges of the drawing to 1/2" MDF and carefully cut to the line and sanded smooth
I made a control cavity template last year with help from a tracing supplied by Scott, so I used it to route the template in the body. The notch at the other end of the template is for routing truss rod adjustment slots
Cut a piece of 1/2" mdf to fit inside the cavity
Cut out the center using the bandsaw by making an entry cut. Much easier than using the sabre saw, I finally realized that. The right tool is a jig saw but the band saw works OK for this.
Glued the cavity template to MDF and cut sanded it to fit in the template
Electronics holes get drilled thru the interior template, it gets removed and the cavity is routed. Then the outside template is removed and the cover size route done.
Ready to be attached, perimeter roughed on the bandsaw and all routing done on the Onsrud overarm pin router
Routing, sanding to 180 and wash coat of sealer. This one will be Frost Blue with ebony fretboard P width neck.
