Another question about back radius/side profile
Hello brains trust,
I figure these are probably aesthetic questions, but would like advice. I'm building from my own plan and trying to work out how to cut the sides to fit the back radius. The maths is easy, but where should the high point be? Somewhere around the one on the right feels right, but I don't know why.
The second question is does anybody incorporate a wedge shape as well as the radius, leaving the body thinner near the neck? One of my (bought) ukuleles is built like this and I think I like it but just wondered if it's a normal building thing or unusual.
Edit: Realised the second question is answered by the first. Different approaches, same outcome.
