Channels done.
Channels are all sewn down now. And I've come to realize that I am going to have to put in some of the small boning pieces in before I can sew the back seams together or anything else, really. So, those will get wetted, dried, and cut later this evening.
Note to self: With reeds, do NOT undo the tied portion at the beginning of the reel. They hold onto the entire bundle of reeds once the small ribbon ties are cut off. Thankfully, I realized that before undoing the ties, so I retied them with some hemp cord I had on hand. Whew!
And the finger tool I mentioned before... is a sewing trolley I bought from Hedgehog Handworks last CoCo.
