Linings part IV

I continued with the linings today. This time I bent, fitted and glued the linings for the upper bout. These I managed to bend dry, the curvature is not too tight anywhere. I was contemplating not to add a mortice in the corners blocks for these linings but decided to do that in the end. The mortices are not too much work and they should add some strength, and help to ensure that the linings stay put. A small mirror can be used to check that the linings fit the ribs well everywhere.
