    Applying hide glue to the leather strips and holding them to the backchecks made me feel klutzy, so I came up with this design on my 3d printer:

    The radius is not quite what I wanted, but close enough, and I already printed 20 of them.
    Dab some glue, pull the leather with my right index/thumb, slide the caul on with the left, works great.
    I attached the .scad design and .stl if anyone's interested.
