Yes I carved them after gluing them in. I have read other ways but it seams to work ok.

I have been tapping on this top for a couple of weeks and it sounds good. Like a drum! And that is good right?

Is it a drum with resonance and sustain?
Once a sound board is attached to the rim one can tell if it has those desirable features in its restricted configuration, generally if a sound board is found to be tight, braces can be shaved to help free it up and make it more responsive. (that's why the back is glue on last) Also, my normal practice is to sand the perimeter of the lower bout rather thin to about 1" inboard.

I'm sure someone has made a similar sanding device for my ledges. It worked good!. Well Kens router attachment really did it.
