The first step is to install the blocks and ribs. “The Rebecca” is based on a Strad (the Provigny) pattern. The blocks are willow and glued to the mold. The ribs are planed to a thickness of about 1.2 mm and then bent to shape. Below is a picture of the blocks and the c-ribs installed.
Now the blocks must be trimmed to accept the other ribs. Likewise, those ribs are planed to about 1.2 mm and bent.
The next step is to install the linings.
