So my bridge is complete and the Spanish Cedar has arrived. The Spanish Cedar measures 8"x 48"x 2". I will have to re-saw and glue up to dimensions I can use.
At this point, I realized I have no way to re-saw this wood. My band saw has a height of about 3" max. Table saw can only have a max blade height of 3", and that looks pretty scary.....
I was thinking of maybe using the table saw and then flipping the wood. So I have 2 options, buy a thin piece for a back, or figure a way to re-saw using a combo of tools.......
I planed the wood to clean it up as you can see it is pretty dingy in the photos, and it looks great!
Walnut bridge lined in maple. It's still a little wet here from cleaning it with naphtha and then acetone. It still has to have holes drilled for the strings.
Un puente de nogal y forrada en madera de arce. Es todavía un poco húmeda aquí desde la limpieza con nafta y acetona. Todavía tiene que tener agujeros taladrados para las cuerdas.
