Thicknessing the back

While waiting for the lining to dry, I thickness the back to about 2.5mm
No frill just plain hard work...
I worked on the lower bout 1st before going for the upper bout.
While I thickness I tapped to hear the sound.
I will record the tap tone for future reference.
After planing it, I scrape it smooth

Lower bout

Upper bout

After planing I have to scrape it.
Well I can't get my scraper to be very sharp using the usual way of creating the burr and turn it.
I simply file the edges and created the burr from there.
Well not orthodox but it works.
I also plane away the excess portion by a bit to better fit the plantilla of the body.
