The Ribs
The ribs (sides) are made from a 1mm thick piece of flamed maple. After soaking in
water, they are formed with a special heater for bending the wood. |
The Linings
The sides are then placed into a mold and perfected. The Lining is made from narrow
strips of Willow and Spruce. It is then fitted to the inside rib edge. |
