Default RE: Making ribs for a tapered wing
Make a root rib and a tip rib. Mark and drill holes to exactly center ribs properly.

Cut rectangular rib blanks and drill matching holes, 1 blank per rib. Fasten ribs together, usually with a long bolt. Carve and sand until the outline flows smoothly from root to tip.

Separate and voila, tapered ribs.
