Did you have any issues with gaps between the two layers of wiggleboard or when adding veneer on the outside of the wiggleboard?

Not that I'm planning to steal your ideas or anything...

Hey Max,

Wiggle board does have a limit to tight bends. Test before finalizing your design.

Adhering the veneer has proven a bigger problem on a few builds. Do some tests. Try pre-bending the veneer to make the glue up easier

Very interesting build!
I’d be interested in hearing more about that Tbird hollowbody in the pic as well.
