I'm back and a new bridge base setup.

I finally got back to working on the project. My broken finger can handle the work. I had been thinking of the bridge base and really didn't like the look of it. When I stained it, the stain gathered in the gaps around the ebony inserts and looked sloppy. So, I got rid of the gaps by installing wood to raise it! I had left-over ebony and some maple to raise the surfaces. The hard part was getting the holes from the ebony inerts and the new plate to line up. I gave it a new shape and cleaned it up a bit. I even placed a piece of maple to clean up the tuner area. I just need to drill holes onto the plate and route some wood from the back for the tuners. I am happy with this "repair." The maple will be stained where the walnut lines would've gone.
