Bending and glueing the upper bout ribs

Last of the ribs to do. Bending the upper ribs seemed to go so fast compared to the rest. I also glued them both to the corner blocks. I first glued one, waited a couple of hours and glued the next, I couldn't wait until the next day. Glueing the ribs to the corner blocks first can be done for the upper bout ribs since the joint doesn't need to be good at the top as the neck mortice is going to be there anyways.

I really enjoy cello making. Today I was thinking about the grain pattern in the upper bouts and how to best make it match the c ribs. Also just handling the wood is so nice. I had planed the ribs nice and smooth and they are silky smooth.
