One always gets a good laugh from Dead Horse.

The sound hole is a problem, I do not know what size to make it ? The size of the guitar is taken has I said from a template from me Mandolin, But due to the build up of front and back and sides it is now more the size now of a traveling guitar but shaped like a Mandolin. If I make the sound hole to big I fear the density of the material will make it soundless, there again if I make it to small the sound wont reach the depths of the inner body. which is only
5 inches in depth all round. I guess perhaps I should make it the same size sound hole in diameter has my Traveling guitar.
