Starting to look like a lute back now . . .

Rib number six (yawn!)

Sixth rib glued in place – Note the numerous ‘alignment pegs’ which help to keep the edges of adjacent ribs lined up while the glue sets. These are made from odd scraps of wood or hardboard.

Rib number 5 . . .

Fourth rib in place . . .

How did the old ones manage without masking tape? Respect!
