From the 3D Blender of the Cassavetti, I cut a thin section from the center of the ribs. Then traced the half of the rib outline. With this half model vector trace, I create a mirror image for the treble side, and from this outline am able to create traditional half model mould, a full outline mould, and the mould with cutouts for the eventual corner blocks. This corner block model will be processed via a CNC machine to create an exact mould for the Viola. Along with the CNC mould pattern I create exact clamping caul models which the CNC machine will create to the exact mirror image of the viola corners.

Stradivari Viola ‘Cassavetti’ 1727. CAT Scan data from Steve Sirr and the Smithsonian Institute. I’ve converted the CAT scan DICOM data to a Blender 3D. From this model I’ll create a body, mold, arching templates, volute templates, and detailed measurements. These mold templates will be the basis for making a viola closely matching Stradivarius’ creation

In Northern Michigan last week. They had a huge storm with lots of Maple down. We harvested a downed maple, milled it, cut to violin, viola, and neck block chunks. Brought home 2 huge 70 lbs suitcases full of tone wood. In 5+ years we’ll work them into instruments. So cool to start with natures raw material
