Marc, I made mine with a set of templates taken from the plan. I made one template for the cross section length wise and 5 or 6 across. After carving the mould to shape in the proper places, I just planed by eye. The result was quite satisfactory. I do however believe that toast rack moulds and sellotape are easier to use than solid moulds and wedges à la Lundberg. Except perhaps for multirib lutes. Gernot
