Hello.
Im graduating the spruce top on a stewmac f5 mandolin kit; my first build. I had no problem creating the recurve on the outside, but have shaved an area too thin when graduating the underside of the recurve (inside of the top). Beginning about 2 along the edge from the center of the tailpiece on the bass side, and extending for about 5 Ive thinned it to between .0092 and .0096. Specs say it should be .011. Ive kept the recurve along the tailpiece at .012. The rest of the top is still within specs. Is this a fatal flaw or is it likely to hold up as long as the rest of the top is graduated properly?
Thanks for your help.
