Howery Violins

Fiddle Jameson: Setting and gluing the purfling. With the grooves cut, I bend the purfling with a hot bending iron, then dry fit all the purfling corners on the top and bottom plates. Once everything is set I glue the purfling into the grooves. The hot hide glue causes the grooves to swell a bit more narrow and the purfling to get just a bit longer than the dry fitting, so there is always some last minute adjustments before the glue cools and sets. Wood, such a dynamic material
