Here's the neck block on the cello I'm making. Willow from N. British Columbia. Notice the lovely flame in the wood. I'd like to think flamed willow is a rarity. It shows up in some of the linings on this cello as well. Most people will only see the outside of the cello body and this block will simply make up some if its inner beauty. I often impress my initial onto the neck blocks of my instruments. Those who take out the endpin to look inside will find it, but otherwise only the label which was hand printed on a vintage letterpress will indicate that the instrument was crafted by me.
