Dave Slight Posted July 7 Author Report Share Posted July 7 Some progress on the ground, two violins at different stages. Easy to make the maple look good, much harder to get the spruce to look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initating sloppy work is a difficult thing to do. However my ‘image’ of ‘clean’ del Gesu purfling corners is somehow less pointed. But anyway, nice work.

Urban Luthier Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Compared to the del Gesu Chardon Pochette, I think your corner shape is pretty close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find it hard to resist adding a bit of a sting, for otherwise it seems the purfling sits too far in from the corner, for my taste at least.

Due to the amazing preservation, it is a good one to study for a sense of how they looked when new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
