| Post subject: | Rib/Armrest construction |
I've not installed an armrest before but have general ideas of how it might be done (theory). Not finding anything on the web on the subject except a lot of very nice finished examples. I'm assuming that the kerfing in those areas are replaced with larger, pre-shaped, exotic woods - and then you radius the exterior as desired to expose the wood beneath. Can anyone shed some light on the basics? How much effect does this have on tone? |

John, welcome to OLF. There is a search function here for viewing specific topics. Typing "armrest" in reveals 21 pages of reference material ...I know some of them are how-to's that'll be usesful to you. |
