Violadamore Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Thanks much for the pictures. That arching looks delightfully loud to me, and I like the roomy pegbox. Good color, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dand Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I also want to thank you for the pics. I am curious about what pattern you used for for inspiration.. the corners and outline remind me of something a bit stainer(ish). also I am curious about the finish.. base coat... was it gamboge or maybe propolis? I have used both with similar coloring... though the lighting and such make it very difficult to tell in photograhs. anyway ..good work and keep going!

I used a mold that my instructor made following the Guarneri D'Egville, and I looked at pictures of that violin when I was working on the corners. I would not be so bold as to claim there's any resemblance. The base coat was a copal varnish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BakerV Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Just reading this thread, propolis is mentioned. Can I ask how it used? And how do you buy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
