Down to scrapers on the back, cleaning up the arching, trying to blend in the channel around the edge, containing the purfling. Lots of changes in grain direction to pay attention to.
Lasers used to be very exotic, but I bought one in a hardware store, used for leveling ceiling tile installation, among other things. Pretty simple, and not sophisticated. But it is another tool one can use to find the never-ending supply of bumps and distortions in ones arching.
That is a great tip. I use a line laser for many things but hadn't thought about it for contoured shapes. I'll definitely put this into practice.
