I would consider outside or inside of the bridge foot dangerous, and perhaps too far back from the bridge as somewhat dangerous. If you don't know how to measure these things you should consider a visit to a luthier.

Some people are allergic/sensitive to chemicals and cooking them, others smart enough to let someone else hazard burning their house down, and some of us just want to work wood and build instruments. Let someone else make the varnish.
p.s. he already knows how to make varnish...
I remember asking the very same question about Craske and the book. I mean, with over 2,000 instruments made in his long lifetime, you would think him worthy of inclusion. I was told just what Dave said, the pics were just the instruments in the exhibition.
I've got a nice Craske viola here right now, finished by the Hills, and see a small number of them regularly. Rough, fast, cool, and very useful tools of the musician's trade. I've never seen a cello, but would like to.
I have a bunch of these from a maker's estate. all were split in the 80's
$45 each +shipping
I also have quite a few that have sap pockets and although the maker would use them and just patch them, I see them as being useful for blocks, linings, and bass bars. Those will be cheaper. Ask if interested.
