Acoustic Guitar Construction

Has anyone employed Chlandni patterns for tuning top braces? Or any other purpose? Or know anyone who does?

There are several sites that show the Chladni patterns. But I never heard or saw some use it for tuning a top.
A sign on the wall to me.

For me it would not work for sure. My mainbraces have a touch of dome and the particles would be all over the place. But not on the top.

I can see the value of this process if trying to duplicate/clone a given guitar. Herman does make a good point (never checked patterns) -- I think?

In fact Ken, I did once make a chladni pattern. More out of curiosity than out of a serious approach. And it worked. Cannot find the pics, otherwise I could show them.
I did the test with plain flour. If the guitar wasn't in dead horizontal position, the flour was off in 2 seconds. Eventually I made a mess on the atticfloor. (While singing jingel bells....)

Thanks for the input folks. Michael Collins has a DVD on his site about using Chlandi patterns but it is not clear how they might work. I appreciate your comments and conclude that their utility remains unclear. Instead I ordered a MAG-ic Probe Electronic Thickness Gauge. Pricey, but it delivers hard measurements that do not require interpretation. I like to thin the edges after the box is assembled and feel I always chicken out before I should. This little tool should help. Would also be useful for some of my remodel projects, a few of which have gotten out of hand. In theory, it should also measure exactly how many mils a finish adds, and how much it shrinks as it cures over the longer run.
