Hello everybody!
I’ve got a newer Martin Special 16 (all solid wood with matte back/sides and gloss top) in for some loose braces.

Should I call in on thursday night? I’ll be at the maker space and can show what we did. I don’t have any thing I can actually cut but I can show the tools and the technique.
thoughts?
