I had an enforced break from the gouzouki project for a while, as I was pretty fully occupied throughout March and April 2020, trying to help save the construction industry from the impact of a national shutdown for the Covid-19 pandemic. I never thought that I would be typing that! Returning to the workshop was a real relief and distraction during some very strange times.
I wasn't looking forward to this next job - carving the heel shape where it forms a graceful transition from body joint to neck. We shall see how graceful it ends up!
This is the kind of shape I am aiming to get to, drawn on the heel cap.It was important to keep the centre line reference throughout this, so that I didn't end up with a wonky transition.
