Because I have had a number of requests for them, and because I should know how to build them, the next set all will have radiused fingerboards and side sound ports. I built a new jig to slot fingerboards which does a very nice job on a radiused fingerboard (and a flat fingerboard.) It is easy to cut a hole for the side sound ports. I made a jig which clamps on the sides, and then there is a router follower that goes around an oval hole. The harder part is figuring out how one binds the side of the hole, so there is no end-grain of the side showing, and so it looks nice. After a number of tests/trials, I think I have this pretty well figured out.
