Jim Bress Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Nice and clean. Definitely like the pear. Current build is a cello with a willow back, so probably will stick with a maple center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other good news is that the willow will be a bit easier to carve, and lighter to lug around the workshop than maple. 12 hours ago, Fossil Ledges said: Very clean build!

Dave Slight Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 40cm viola (15 3/4"), varnished and set-up. Colour looks a bit lighter and slightly less red than reality, due to the lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Slight Posted July 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Yes they are, although the scroll block is cut the usual way, for better stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Noon Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Are ribs cut that way easier to bend than the usual quartered cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Slight Posted July 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I wouldn't say so, Don. They bend OK, but I don't think there is much in it. Perhaps less tendency to fold across the figure, otherwise very similar in terms of the force needed to shape them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
