Just completed this Octave mandolin. Thought it might be relevant here as it's close to being a baritone uke, but built and braced to take 8 steel strings. WRC top and English walnut back and sides.
Sorry, I have no pictures, but it was X braced as a small guitar would be and with slight scalloping on the base side of the X, one tone bar and one finger brace either side. I drew up a plan and if you wish I can photo and post it later.
Mike.
