Thank you SOOOOO much. I was looking into vacuum systems for stabilizing wood and stumbled onto your 'ible. I teach woodworking at Techshop San Francisco and this is just the most logical thing in the world that I never thought of - thank you for opening my eyes to this possibility!

Glad I could help inspire! I did my first one freehand too, but when I went back I just wanted some help getting things cleaner. I also made a handled one with a spline like you are describing as a gift for someone - sadly don't have a picture of it, but it worked well - I used maple teeth and walnut handle and spline for that one.

Neck was CF, with extra material and resin inside to add stiffness. I did this as an experiment with a group of people at my makerspace, one person pursued using a cf soundboard, but unfortunately they got side tracked - i didnt get to hear itnif they finished.
