Violadamore Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 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, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 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, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 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...
