another newbie

[bryanh]

Hello to all at MN. Another newbie here. Trying to make and sell fiddles here in the mountains of Tennessee. I've been learning a lot from yall over the last six months and look forward to learning much more going forward. Any way here's a few pics of my latest fiddle, #4. Will post pics of other work if anyone is interested to see.

Thanks, Bryan

Hi Bryan,

I saw another violin you made (by searching on facebook for the link)with a flamed maple back and a sort of starburst finish and an inlaid emblem in the middle of the back, that I thought was really nice.

Perhaps you could also post a picture of it here?

I know there are many makers who also step out from strict tradition a bit, who will appreciate it.

Welcome, and keep up the good work...

And, oh, btw, nice scroll.

Seriously, very nice. Voulute is just gorgious, would love to see more.

Thanks CT,

Here's some of the pics from the #3 fiddle. I recently sold this one at the Mt. Airy fiddlers convention . This is probably my most traditional one to date.

Thanks McBenet,

My son David often helps with the scroll carving. He has that hand to eye thing down much better than me. He won't do them all though, just when he's in the mood!

Here's a few pics of scrolls from #1 (maple) and #2 (walnut).
