OK guys, I put the flat spot there and I'm sure it will work just fine. I still had to add some wood filler, but both edges are intact. I am planning to take off enough mahogany to add a nice top to this body, so it should be even less noticeable after that is done.

I was concerned that the divot in the wood was too deep for an effective flat spot. I'm glad I was wrong. And, yes, the "chunk" was actually shredded, so I had no chance of putting it back.

Also - I want everyone to be sure I was not complaining about the templates from Ron Kirn. They're great, and I am very thankful to have them.

Thanks for all your replies.

Regards,
Michael

p.s. If you haven't tried them, the microplane rasps are THE BOMB!
