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.
