Hi all,
I might add to Dan's explanation that a single jig can be used for lute bowls
with differing numbers of ribs. My one jig is set up to produce bowls with 9
ribs or with 13 ribs. The pivot point stays the same; you just have two sets
of indexing points. So far I've only used it to make a bowl with 9 ribs, but
this winter I'll be making myself a lute with 13 ribs.
Honest guys, this is the best thing since sliced bread. It really works.

Dear Dan and All,
I put some pictures of one of my cutting forms up on my web site
for you to see. The URL is:
http://www.daniellarson.com/cutting_jig/cutting_jig.htm
The more complex bowl forms are achieved, in my system, by
changing the indexing and pivot points. By doing so just about about any
shape of rib can be realized. The form pictures is set to cut three
different shapes of ribs for a flattened back. This system is even capable
of reproducing the Vinaccia mandolin form, which, with it's raised
flattened back, is about as complicated as a lute form gets.
Regards,
Dan
