Back and top braced, sanded and installed.  Between back and top install, added butt graft in cocobollo, which is also the binding wood.

The pattern on the Myrtle is stunning, and came together nicely after the back install.

While the top gluing cured, purfling was added to the binding then bent in the “machine”.  Later this afternoon I should be able to install the binding.
