Bowl back mandolins were made from thin wood strips assembled on a carved wooden form. Once completed the form was removed ready to use again and you had the finished back to fit to the front and add bindings.
I recall my evening classes at the London College of Furniture where a guy had spent a year's worth of classes slowly carving his form. And my teacher Norman Reed specialised in building lutes so I saw several of his carved forms in the workshops of the Totnes School of Guitarmaking.
DC Choppa's thread on Archtops made me wonder this morning what other nature things could be used as an Acoustic Guitar body.
I immediately thought Pumpkin. Then I though it won't be suitable. Then I thought I would look whether anybody has constructed an Acoustic Guitar type body from Pumpkin.
