An unwelcome surprise.

I joined, thicknessed and installed the rosette in a really nice red spruce top. After the rosette was install I was scraping the top down to close to my final thickness and a pitch pocket showed up in the treble side of the lower bout. . Unfortunately it is deeper than I can sand. The top is so clean everywhere else so it really stands out. I am going to put this top up for some future project and start a new one.

The other side is clean. I think I need a light table or something to spot these hidden defects. I would use this for myself but this is commissioned guitar I am working on.

Oh bummer John. I tried to fix something like that once and it didn't come out very well.
