Re: Bowlback repair of missing back strip
It's called a "stave" and you're missing a piece of it. That will be a labor of love and there really isn't a wrong way to do it because I don't know anybody that would do it. Best of luck, keep us in the loop and I'm not really sure matching the color will be your biggest problem. If you can fill that gap and it looks nice and smooth that should be impressive enough.
