Finally got some time again to continue on the scroll. It was time to do the incurve on the faces of the scroll. I did that with the gouges, carefully first carving from the edge to the centre and then coming from the top to cut the shavings off. The incurve starts fairly shallow and increases in depth towards the eye of the scroll. I think I got the first side more or less where I want to have it. My son's current cello has somewhat deeper incurve but I quite like it now when it is not quite as deep. This is the first iteration. I will next do the incurve on the other side to match this one and then refine it once I can see the scroll as a whole.
