Violin

This is an instrument I started the first of this year for no one in particular. Kind of like those mountains that get climbed just because they were there.

This will be fabulous with some finish on it. What do you think about a tobacco burst?

These blocks are made from ultra light, ultra strong redwood. The linings are willow.

This is actually a piece of douglas fir that was sold to me as spruce. It was not immediately obvious, but after I got this far I thought "what the heck" might as well see what it sounds like. Douglas fir has a lot in common with spruce, it is just a little more rigid I suppose.
