Building Cello #2

Happy new year!

I have had a long break in building the cello. Lot's of other things have happened. But now in the new year it is time to continue again. I had started the purfling channel but hadn't finished the corners. These are tricky and I haven't really been able to figure out how they are generally done. Looking at some photos of cellos, it looks to me like the distance of the purfling is pretty much constant around the C's and the upper and lower bout are adjusted to make a nice curve. So that's what I decided to do. I used a French curve to get a nice curvature.

    Elias keeps growing so a bigger cello will be needed eventually. With the previous cello I had to hurry up a little as Elias needed it already. With this one I want to avoid the pressure.
