Dear Marc, There is an excellent article by Stephen Barber in one of the Lute Society journals from the 1980's about how to make solid moulds -(sorry I don't have the reference to hand, but I will look it up for you later). Stephen Barber and Sandi Harris use solid moulds exclusively for their instruments.
Best wishes, Denys Quoting Marc Soljak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi Everyone, > I've just received OEHistorical Lute Construction' from the American > Luthiers > Guild. > A fantastic book. > There are very detailed instructions on how to build a bowl mould but no > mention on how to > facet them (it mentions that a accurately faceted mould is essential). > It looks to me like most English builders use a section/bulkhead method of > construction, like David Van Edward's CD courses > and that bulk head construction has been historically documented, > but does anyone know how to calculate/project and carve the facets from a > solid block of wood? > Other wise I am stuck before I begin. > > Thanks for any suggestions you can give. > Marc. > > Notice: The information contained in this e-mail (and any accompanying > attachments) is confidential and may be legally privileged.
