Forstner bits are sometimes used to hollow out the inside vs. a chisel. Old school chisel and knife all the way like Mr. Whitt, but being younger I go with the Forstner bit route. I have all the respect in the world for the Carving knide and chisel, because I don't have that much patience.. If they are checkered on the sides, then typically you wouldn't checker the sides with the chasis hollowed out because you could crack the sound boards. So usually the checkering is a sign of work gone in before the call maker hollows out the chasis. That's how I do it anyways.. More than one way to skin a cat though.
