But it's difficult (but not impossible if you build a jig for
each rib) to build the more complex shapes which are not
semi-circular in cross-section and only a few of the historic
surviving lutes are like that.

In some cases, yes. Certainly theorbos have better projection when
they have flattened cross-sections. And baroque lutes are noticeably
non-circular in section. I think it's geometrically impossible to
make these kind of shapes without twisting some of the ribs.

I've made molds from pine lumber which works fine albeit
harder to carve but the best is bass wood or boxwood.

Jon,
I wish I had your carving skills - next time I make a lute I'd like to try a
solid mould, but the thought of producing a complex shape with accurately
curved lines and surfaces out of a lump of wood terrifies me! I'm sure with
your experience
!
Best regards

Carving skills are a combination of craftsmanship and artistry. Artistry and
craftsmanship when carving a free-form scupture - but craftsmanship in
duplicating a fixed form. The craftsmanship can be considerably enhanced by
the proper tools. Like you I note

If you're actually wanting to build a lute, I would recommend getting David
van Edwards' CD-ROM and plans (for either a renaissance or a baroque lute -

this, and am very pleased with the results (in spite of
