Ever consider making a Bajo Quinto or sexto? Your builds this time remind me of one courtesy of the binding.
Yes, check out my avatar. That is a hollow archtop with 18" lower bout. It was originally a 30" scale bass VI, but I later changed it to a 4 string. I've made a couple of bases on a 16" width archtop frame, one with rope binding.

The Bajo 5 and 6 are where I got the rope binding idea.
