Prepping for the kerf

I am not doing much on the guitar today. A few mods to the mold per my kit makers instructions to get ready for installing the kerfed lining and other future steps. Here is an interesting tidbit of info for you, when you mke a cut in wood with a saw, the slit you make is called a kerf. Kerfing it a strip of wood with a kerf, or slit, every quarter of an inch or so. It is cut like this so you can conform it to the sides of the guitar. Anyone who has ever broken a stick can tell you that wood does not bend very well under normal circumstances. The cuts help to increase what I call the bend-nicity, or bend-itosity of the wood strip. The kerfing strip is what the top and back of the guitar are really attached too, not just the thin side of the guitar. Another interesting tidbit of info is that the words kerf, kerfed, and kerfing are not in my spell check, so as I write this post, there are little red dots under each of those words proclaiming that my computer thinks I am a bad speller. Well screw you spell check! I know these words are real and I have spelled them correctly.
I am also getting the kerfed lining ready to be installed. KMG kits use reverse rounded kerfing. This type of kerfing has the cut, or kerfed side, facing the side of the guitar...away from the inside. Traditional kerfing has the cuts facing so you can see them if you look inside the guitar. For more information, please go to this link at KMG's site. It explains it much better than I do. Here is the link: http://www.kennethmichaelguitars.com/REVERSEKERFING.html

Here is a picture of my kerfing clipped to the outside of the rim, just like
Ken Cierp describes on his site.

Kerf-tastic!

Here is a close up from top to bottom, of the front and back of the kerfed lining respectively.
The quarter is for scale purposes and because kerfing likes loose change:KERFY!!

Here is the kerfing in the shape of the letter T because my name is Tony. The quarter is there because the kerf wouldnt give it back to me.KERFY T!!

Thats all I have was able to do tonight. Now the kerfing has to dry because I had to wet it in order for it to bend more easily into the tight, sexy, jean-filling curves of the guitar. Hopefully everything will have dried out by tomorrow and I can get to gluing when I get home. Then I get to repeat this all over again for the kerfing on the other side of the rim. REDUNDANT KERFING!! YEEHAW!!
