Refining the Arching and Outline of the Top Plate

I have now done the same process on the top as I had done on the back in my previous post -- reduced the outline to the worn outline of the original instrument and refined the arching such that it is ready for hollowing and adding those long f-holes:

I have been multitasking and working on the plates, ribs, and neck/scroll at the same time, so I will be posting updates as tasks are completed -- look for frequent updates soon!
