Tone bar question
I think most builders include shaving the tone bars in tuning a mandolin top board?
But I wonder what is the limit in thickness and height that you won't go past in carving them?
Said another way what is the minimum thickness & height you dare to carve a set of tone bars before you'd better put the chisel away.
Seems to me smaller and lighter is best but going too far would not be good of course.
I know most make the bass tone bar a little thicker and taller than the treble bar so I guess I'm wondering about the minimum dimensions on both bars?
