When the Chips are Down

11/23/2014

This is one of the best stages in making a cello.  I am arching the top plate.  The spruce cuts easily and the graceful curves gradually appear.  I have control over the contours, and I'm trying to decide exactly what I want.  There's a lot of concentration at this stage.  I am creating an arch that resembles my previous cello in hopes that I get a similar result.  The next step is to ensure that arching of the 2 halves of the top are symmetrical.  That will have to wait, as I need to be freshly rested to do such precise work.
