Spot the mistake
Once spotted I'd like to know the thoughts on whether or not this matters - might be one for Trevor to chime in on.
Re: Spot the mistake
Looks to me like it’s had a crack happen on the right hand side (as viewed vee photo)

Bridge plate upside down or is it the orientation of the short tertiary brace across the lower bout centre seam? Whatever it is it certainly isn't obvious.

Bingo!
Put the template on upside down when marking that one out.
Got me thinking, is that brace purely a centre seam reinforcement or is it doing something more? If it is primarily reinforcement i can't imagine the orientation would matter as long as its going across the join.
Had a quick squiz through the books and couldn't find much explaining what that little fella is doing.
Every photo of a falcate top i find online has it pointing towards the bass side of the upper bout.

Continue as planned...won't make a difference.
Re: Spot the mistake
I tend to agree. I actually think one of my early Gore classicals had that brace in the same orientation as yours.
