My guitar work as been a side hustle for many years. I just retired from the "real" job and had a bunch of stuff come into the shop. Hope it keeps up.

I could be wrong, but "The Tree" is the only example of quilted mahogany. And it is stunning!

Regarding radiusing…. I would say the two types you described are cylindrical radius and spherical radius. Well, perhaps three types as a “compound radius” fretboard is a conical radius.

I bend solid ebony bindings (2 x 5 mm) with a bending iron, no problems.

Suggestion: try a guitar with a Soft Maple back, rims and neck with a White Pine or Douglas Fir top.

Casey at Casey’s Guitars Here, I only do solid linings, pipe bent, 2 laminates on each strip, appx. 5mm each strip.

Cherry is my favorite lining wood for solid linings. Bends like butter and does break very easy.

I have bent solid basswood linings for violins. I went with 3mm and bent by hand when using basswood for guitars. 5mm may be a bit dificult. Basswood bends easily.

Not to mention that apparently George Lucas's office is said to be completely lined with wood paneling from "the tree" as well as a desk or conference table or something. Maybe there is more quilted mahogany out there from a different "tree".

Eric, do you leave the transverse bar and fretboard graft UN-radiused? And then glue these in place on a flat surface and not in a radius dish? This would then flatten out the upper bout as well?
