I've now tied the frets and glued on the small frets on the body. Here are some pics of the finished lute.
Now that I have a playable instrument (whew!) I can spend more time focusing on details and making a nice instrument with the foresight I've gained from this project.
I have already selected the woods for the shell of the next lute. It will not have spacers between the ribs but will have alternating zebra wood and wenge (pictured below). I also plan on using the extended pegbox design instead of a bass rider for this instrument. I will keep a much more detailed blog on the progress of that instrument.
