Yes, you can do a thru-pegbox! Easier, and looks really cool!

Really? I liked them!
But I was especially interested in the body shape. Much easier to do than ones with a traditional center bout.
Well, that will sure solve the weight-in-the-headstock issue! Can't wait to see that!
Looks like Jessupe Goldastini has found a use for his "wastage" cuts of wood, pattern them together like a quilt for the back side of the instrument, He makes some very nice looking instruments. The headstock design he uses are more like what I'll probably do. I'm not quite ready for wooden scrolls. As far as body shape, I really like the mountain fiddle body shape I saw somewhere around here last week. Seems it was oval to roundish, even easier to form. I've been thinking headless fiddle as well, but will have to do plenty more thinking (and Interest "research") before i can come with a plan. I was also thinking of fretting it. (Maybe it will end up a 4-string mandolin.)
