Hello violin maker friends:
I am new to this site and also new to violin making. I am making my second violin. When using the bandsaw to cut the wood for the back of the violin from outline, I forgot to allow for the button that the heel of the neck supposed to rest on!
Can I glue a piece of wood to the body or should I scrap my maple and start with a new back? If I glue it, would it hold the pressure applied by the neck, or any other issues?
Thanks for your input.
