Here is a 5 string violin I just delivered to David Sartain.
Red Spruce top and Euro maple back and sides.

I build two at a time...well actually 4. two in the varnish process and two in the build process.
The other one was for Darol Anger. Here are some of the final photos for that one.

3X very nice. I especially like the back of the second set of photos. It doesn't look like maple, what is it?

Another masterpiece Barry.

To anyone that hasn't done it yet, go and have a peruse of Barry's website, truly inspirational to aspiring violin builders, now bookmarked and regularly visited by me!

Gluing the neck onto my first violin today.
