Thanks Matthew.
I knew I should have used kerfed linings, it would have been easier, I almost did. That upper block is massive.
The bass attributed to Testore on my site looks a little different than that Dodi. Have a look side by side.

I don't have a bigger photo of the Testore, wish I did.
I like that Dodi, especially the bold arching.
