Building a Cello

Rounding the bottom edge of the front

I repeated the rounding of the edge on the front this morning. Although softer, spruce is in many ways harder the work with than the harder maple. The difference between the soft and hard growth rings is much bigger and if careless one can easily remove too much of the soft wood and not enough of the hard one. For both the back and the front I used sandpaper glued to a flat piece of wood. That allowed me to make sure the growth rings are sanded equally.

    My son is outgrowing his cello soon. Could there be a better reason to learn how to make one :).
