Making the bridge

I don’t have photos of the early stages in making the bridge. Basically I glued copies of the templates from the Benedetto plan onto ebony blanks and then shaped them with the linisher.

The green tape is there to mark the end of the asymmetric “bevel” in the bridge

Here it is after the bevels have been chiseled and sanded out

And again – sorry it is hard to photograph ebony!

Here it is with the tailpiece. I have failed completely to take photos of the process of making the tailpiece…

And again…
