Work placement with Remi Part II

Today I made some progress on my back carving. I routed the platform on the back using a router. The outlines of the back is 4mm thick and I routed the platform on the lower bout to 25mm from the side and in the upper bout progressively decreasing to 20mm, 15mm, 10mm, 5mm and finally to 0mm at the neck end of the back.

And after that I started to plane the long arch with a block plane. The highest point of the back is going to be 17mm. I used a template to measure and check the arch.

This part is going to take some time. But even though it is hard work, it is also great fun to see the back finding it's shape.
