Prepare for closing box

I glue some backing veneer to the sound port region.
Well although this guitar is not having any sound port, but nonetheless I better glue some veneer incase next time the owner decides to change his mind.
The backing consist of 5 layers of veneer, alternate in grain orientation for each layer.
This should give plenty of strength.

I also made a small tornavoz.
It's made of paulownia which is very light and weighs only 3 g for the ring.
The reinforcement will probably weigh another 2 g or so.

Prepare for gluing the sound port backing.

Glue the 1st layer

After all layers are glued, they are clamped

Bending the wood for the tornavoz

Clamp to shape

Weighs about 3 g (2.9g to be exact using the other scale which is more accurate)

Can the the taper at the ends so that the overall thickness is about the same.

Glued to the top

With reinforcements.

One last look before closing the box
