I'm working on the carved soundboard of my second build and I'm wondering about the re-enforcement the author of the manual I'm using recommends. I've installed a strip of guaze bedded in titebond in the F-hole area and was happy to have it there when cutting the F-holes. Now that they are safely cut is the re-enforcement still required? To me it seems that it places a lump of material in the thinnest place on the soundboard over a considerable area of the recurve.
