Voicing the top bracing makes a lot of wood curls. This is just the beginning stages where the start of the scalloping can be seen on the main X brace. The shaving and sculpting is done with super sharp chisels. The razor sharp tools remove slivers of wood to thin and tone the braces. Note: this guitar is a left hand version. On left hand versions we use a double X pattern, so if the guitar ever needs to become a right hand version it can be converted more easily by a Luthier.
