Here are some photos of a 5 string I have finished the varnish process this week. After the varnish cures enough I will rub it out and do the set up work and ship it off to it's new owner.

Barry,

That's very nice - lovely fiddleback figure on the scroll and violin back.

Thanks for the kind words. It takes me about 6 weeks from start to finish. I have 4 going at a time.

Looking great Barry, I've just started the rubbing out stage for the varnish on mine, in fact I've just cleaned some rottenstone and oil off my hands! Everyone should have a go at a violin.

Barry, it's a very traditional kettle cooked linseed oil and Baltic amber varnish. What are you using?
