I got the Sitka Spruce book matched halves from LMII 2 weeks ago
but its been too cold do any work in the garage. We finally have some nice weather so I was able to get the two halves jointed and glued together. The joint isn't as transparent as I would like it to be, but I think its solid. When I held the two halves up to a light (prior to gluing), I didn't see any light coming through the joint, so it should be fine.
Next step is to start the rosette

Hey, I'm glad to find this account of building a bajo sexto! I have some experience building lutes and violins. Now I'm interested in playing one of these in a conjunto band, but good bajo sextos are expensive. It appears posts have stalled. Did you ever finish this?
