Hope to start stripping this week. A series of increasingly goofy screwups on the upper/lower bow have thwarted me. Friday I was putting the finishing touches on the upper bow piece, and the combination of vice pressure and using a chisel put a nice big crack through it. Hoped that gluing/taping it up would be sufficient to repair, but there's still a visible uneven/dented space. I'll probably have a thread on that shortly if I can't figure out a repair tonight :/

In any case, I'll give you ring this week to catch up on how things are going.
