Project | Violin Build : Part 3, preparing the ribs

In this third part I'm preparing the rib stock for making the violin outline.

The ribs need to be thinned to roughly 1.1mm thick. The figured wood can make this a bit tricky as it likes to chip or tear out as the grain direction changes. Once they're thicknessed, they're layed out and cut to length for bending.

Enjoy!
