This is the bridge I made today from cocobolo rosewood, a Dalbergia species that can be found growing in Mexico, for example. I broke a drill press, the quill now has a serious amount of runout, trying to mill the saddle slot and I had to buy a new drill press to complete the project. The new one is a 1 hp, 200 lb. monster. It is good to upgrade.
Anyway here is the bridge, with a saddle slot of 1/8 inch wide by 2 7/8 inches long. The pin spacing will be 2 5/16 inches. This turned out nice, I think, but is still not perfect.
