Loose ribs :: Lyon & Healy bowl back mandolin

Loose ribs :: Lyon & Healy bowl back mandolin

The a few of the Brazilian rosewood ribs on this bowl back mandolin were loose and needed to be re-glued.  I quickly brushed hide glue into the seams and wrapped the body with large rubber bands to clamp them closed.  Next up is fixing a couple missing soundhole pieces before gluing up the neck.
