Oh, it's all challenging. That's the fun. But much of it becomes
less challenging with practice.
One tip I found out on my second lute is that it might be more
tedious to make a bowl with 11 or more ribs, but it's easier to fit
them. My first lute had 9 ribs and it was harder than heck to get
everything to join up nicely. With 11 ribs, the job becomes much
easier.

hello, everyone
what would be the most difficult part of building a six course
lute. I
have an extensive wood shop. such as thickness planer, table saw,
jointer, bandsaw, hand planner and alot of other hand/power tools.
also, does one cut the bowl staves with a bandsaw?
