Finalizing the Ribs and Back

Just a quick update -- the woodwork on the back plate and ribs is now basically complete and ready for tanning. I have removed the rib structure from the mold and trimmed the blocks and linings. I have also rounded the edges of the back plate and finalized the corners. Here are three pictures of the ribs and back -- note that the ribs are just set onto the back in these pictures, they are not yet attached.
