The top closed up for the most part. In one part the two half are no longer even, but I can just use a scraper to even that out. I don't know what the consequences are if the top is uneven but that was already the case anyway. I was happy with the voice job I did. It resonates much better after carving the braces down. My guy feeling says to go further with it, its still a really stiff top, but I think I'm too much of a coward for that. How much flex should the top have? it has a little bit going the short way. None when I flex it the long way.
Also I found out that the Guitar body no longer has the same form! It shifted. Not surprising since the top has been off for over a year. I think this is an easy fix though. You can see in the picture, the top of the soundboard is lined up with the top of the body where the neck would go and the bottom sticks out almost 1/4 inch. On the sides toward the base of the bottom, they are too far from the edge of the soundboard. about 1/8 of an inch.
