profiling the rim before bending

Ken, would you post your pics showing the dimensions for profiling the sides before bending? I've used the Om dimensions but can't find them at the moment.

Also wondering, you don't have the rise and length to the waist point for a parlor do you? I could extrapolate it from the printed plan but if it's somewhere out there already I'd appreciate it.


edit: found the one for 'D's...:

Hi Darren,
The smallest I've have at the moment is the "00" in the 12th and 14th fret versions -- will those specs help?

It might help - this will be 12 fretter if it makes a difference.

Thanks Ken

from above

"inner most waist curve height 3 13/16" - "


Or am I not understanding the question?

Ken - I meant that unlike the 'd' or 'om/ooo' profiles, the deepest part of this OO body is at the tail, not the waist. That wasn't a question so much as an observation. Sorry for being vague.
