Another vote for an Archtop section, I've made a couple using Bob B's excellent book and DVD's Plus plans, pretty much required reading I would say as it's the only series on archtop construction out there at the mo.
I havent made as many as I would like as the limited number of pro musicians and work for them in New Zealand limits the number that can spend the $ on a hand made Archtop to approximately...............0! Plenty of players like the ones I've made but can't afford to shell out the cash
In a quick answer to markusrap, you could carve the plates using a copying router, Bob B, in his DVD's shows a Pantograph router he used for a little while but went back to hand carving because as he quite rightly points out, the mere fact of running a plane over the wood gives you feedback in both the sound of the plane on the wood and the amount of 'give' under the plane that you don't get from machined plates. This helps when voicing the instrument, it's very much an 'organic' process, hand carving
incase I haven't posted them before on this forum
here are my archtop attempts ( I usually make Selmer Maccaferri's)
