  1. I have bridge stock. PM me for details. on we go, Joe
  2. The Tuscan photographs as a deep red orange. A friend who had access to the violin said it trends to the red/purple scale. If you like, contact me to discuss options. on we go, Joe
  3. There is a violin makers group in Texas. Try contacting Jake Simmons [https://www.jacobsimmonsviolins.com] on we go, Joe
  4. Where are you in Texas? on we go, Joe
  5. You have excellent luthiers in Montreal. Contact Forum de Fabricant
  6. Contact Will Howery @howeryviolins.com
  7. Contact Kory @korinthianviolons.com
  8. @Steve Voigt All the above about resin is correct as we have discussed. I am reluctant to give more information about the use of turpentine as this is wear the cook becomes volatile. I don't want to be responsible for folks having problems on we go, Joe
  9. @MikeC Well, as in all things varnish...it depends. I'll give some reluctant information. This process is DANGEROUS. When you cook resin and oil together you form a mixture. When turpentine is added to cook you alter all the materials to form a compound. The longer you cook the resin and oil together, the shorter the open time. Brushing viscosity is a function of the brush and added (room temperature) turpentine. Please be safe. on we go, Joe
  10. @jefcostelloIn my not so humble opinion. I disagree. The hardness and or color of the rosin in the cook does not effect open time. This is controlled by the cooking of the components together and the addition or not of turpentine to the procedure. on we go, Joe
  11. I think you have received some good feedback. I would add a couple of thoughts. What is the color of the resin prior to cooking? Cooking such small amounts of resin makes it difficult to control temperature. What is the cooking vessel? Long cooking resin vs long cooking varnish produces far different results. on we go, Joe
  12. Please do.
  13. I suspected that. Number of years ago a friend was packing up for the Oberlin Makers Workshop. She filled a plastic film container (you remember those...) with Renaissance Wax. When she unpacked her tools the film container was collapsed and partially decomposed (melted?). We have not used or recommended it since. on we go, Joe
