Thought I would share a few shots of the rim construction.
Gluing the bent sides to the end blocks...of you can see through all the clamps.
Gluing the top linings in. These are made of basswood.
Putting the profile radius into the sides.
Then installing the bottom linings. These are primavera for a little better color match for the ebony.
And bolt holes must be drilled...
More coming soon.
