Celebrating Another Milestone

6/10/2017

In celebration of Canada's 150th birthday, I wanted to make a violin with Canadian maple instead of the traditional European maple that I regularly use.  I had a hard time locating wood for the neck and scroll, but ended up with something that had been in storage for over 30 years.  It was a slab that yielded 4 necks, and 2 backs.  Here's the scroll in the style of Guarneri Del Gesu.  I am extremely happy with the result.  The rest of the violin is also very eye catching but it's a few days away from public display or playing.

​I other news, I've modified my own design and have started working on the first violin from the new form.  I can't explain why exactly, but I'm very excited to hear it sometime this fall.
