Howery Violins

Cleaning my shop… Evening camp fire after cleaning out my scrap wood. This item was a “Bench Copy” of the Strad Cassavetti Viola. I have the LIbrary of Congress CAT scan data, so milled a 3D replica of the F-Holes before cutting them in my viola. So much better than looking at flat paper, the real shape you can touch, rotate, see the curves. Can’t afford the real bench copy, but this is pretty close
