Kiwi Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 [url="http://z4.invisionfree.com/Double_Bass/index.php?showforum=1"]http://z4.invisionfree.com/Double_Bass/index.php?showforum=1[/url] I came across this in the Smith forums. Anyone who can construct their own double bass - complete with carved cedar top, has my undying respect. Its a fascinating process too, I never understood how the luthiers managed to get the top carved so consistently and smoothly. He's used a homemade plane to smooth the top out where I've seen other makers use a scraper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
