Does anyone put a radius on their tenor tops? If so, do you radius the fan bracing in addition to the cross bracing? I installed a sound hole patch but did not radius it nor did I glue it in using my radius board. Will this pose a problem when gluing on the cross braces if they are radiused? Finally, I assume that I should glue the bridge plate using my radius board? Finally, is the thickness for the bridge plate different whether you use a tie bridge or a pin bridge? What would the proper thickness be for the bridge plates under those types of bridges?

Thanks

When ever I radius a top, I sand the same radius on the braces and use a radius disk and a go bar deck to glue them.
