Decided to build the form square, then attach a riser the size of the desired taper at the neck end of the form, causing tail and neck block to be the same height from the table. Then use the drill press cutter to cut the taper. As you say, yet another way the cat is skinned. I was (over) thinking on it a bit more.

Building the taper into the form is a good idea - there is often more than one way to accomplish the same result.

I'm hoping to build the taper into my form using tapered spacer blocks sandwiched between top and bottom ply. Then I can flush cut to the bottom of the form (actually slightly proud). I'll glue on the kerfing and sand both to the final taper using a radius dish. I think in your case you can get away with not attaching the kerfing before sanding to final dimension because you're using a flat top and back, yes?

To do that I need the sides to be at or at least close to their final profile. I also need to start on the neck and decide how I will be milling the mortise in the heel block to accept the neck tenon. You're fortunate to have a source for the wood so close by. My options are mail order or cut it myself. I have a technique in mind for tapering marking the sides with the taper - but that is still about 2 weeks away.

I've seen people make a tapered piece of paper, form it to the side curves and transfer the line, but intuition tells me this won't result in a true linear taper when viewed from the side. Maybe it's close enough that sanding on a board trues it up, or maybe my gut is wrong. I guess I have to be patient to see what you do. Nice to have someone uncovering all the pitfalls so I can make my own new ones! I went ahead and bought a walnut back and sides set from Global Wood Source right around the corner from my house. Definitely easier than sawing hardwood logs with a handsaw.

I chose the one I used because the blueprint was more detailed than the other one I bought and I liked the body shape better.
