Varnish has arrived!!!!

3/26/2012

 
I now have varnish and lots of it.  Joe Robson at violinvarnish.com makes it. 
I considered making my own, but it's a lot of work and the results can be variable.
Joe  is probably the foremost violin varnish authority on this continent. 
He is also very supportive.
Today, weather permitting, I will try out his balsam ground system on my latest creation.

I have only one really good violin back in stock so I went shopping.
A supplier in Europe is sending me 2 of his very best one-piece backs.  He has never seen better quality.  I'm also getting 2 very high quality 2 piece backs. 
This is good timing as I have a client that want's a custom made violin and I will be able to offer him some extremely good choices in terms of wood.
