The scroll part III

Getting closer to the eye now. Just one saw cut and then some chisel/gouge work on the faces and the sides. I will not proceed on the eye yet, but will next do the incurving of the faces. The faces will not stay perpendicular like I've done them now, but they will go deeper in towards the centre of the scroll. The more so the closer one gets to the eye. I also need to mark the edge for the chamfer now. The corners of the scroll will have a 45° chamfer all along. This is something my son's current cello doesn't have so I won't have an example to study for that. But I have seen photos and at least for my eye the chamfer really makes a great difference to the scroll.
