And got it fitted and glued in. The rim set, called a garland in viol circles, is now complete and ready for the back, front, and neck to be fitted. I am still carving the scroll on the neck. It is a LOT of work, but it is progressing. I have the inlay on the back to do before I fit it, and I am still awaiting some fine Spruce for the front. I decided that all this work deserves a good soundboard!
Looks like a more 'guitaresque' type of construction technique than I would have imagined. I'd love to get some plans and give it a go myself, any advice?
