Less likely to bow the neck the way you have done it. Worth the effort. Sometimes I drill some holes side to side in the wood inside the box to 'help move the sound around. But keep it strong. I think it helps to cut out a bit of wood directly under the saddle to let the too vibrate. Good wishes.
Thanks, guys. It's poplar that I picked up from the home improvement store when I was there getting supplies for an emergency plumbing repair (on Dec. 26th in a snow storm). I figure it should be plenty strong for just a 3-stringer; maybe even overkill.
