Violin Nicolo: Varnish all done. I’m back in the studio today. Last week I had a visit from Mr Influenza, and his cousin Cough. We spent a lot of late nights doing brandy shots, watching some movies, listening to some great music. They were having so much fun, I wasn’t able to get much work done. We’ll they left yesterday and today its just me and the violins. So if you need any adjustments, bow rehairs, or just a new violin stop by and pay me a visit. Your much more welcome than my last two guest…. Oh and Violin Nicolo will be ready for a new home by weeks end

Viola Primrose : Trimming the corners on the viola ribs. The maple sides are steam bent around a form. (The only steam bending on a violin/viola, the plates are carved). The upper and lower bouts meet the C-bouts at a mitre, that when viewed from the end looks like a single rib with no seam. The knife cuts are made from the outside in from both directions. This avoids a tear-out if the knife were to cut outward over the thin maple end grain. Filed to a nice square finish

Violin Onalee: glueing the purfling in the grooves. Purfling, besides being beautiful, is a strip of wood with the grain running parallel to the plate edges. If the edges get impacted, the purfling stops any cracks from going inside the purfling line of the plates. Purfling: crack damage insurance
