Ken the fans are 4mm wide and the center brace is 5mm high and they gradually get lower out to the outside at 3.5mm tall. The transverse braces are 8mm wide and about 15mm tall. I have a classical plan from LMI of a guitar built in the 60's. I can't remember right now who the builder was, maybe Fredrico?
Anyway, since this is an OM shape, a little larger then your basic classical I thought the 9 fans might be better then the pretty basic 7, but what do I know?
It is a trial. The top is at about .095" thick and I will probably take at least .005" off when final sanding. My neck angle is flat and I have a dome at the bridge area, working with a 30ft radius. This is a 14 fret at the body set up.
