Wow! It has been a VERY busy summer!
You can see some of what we have been up to HERE.
So, I am FINALLY getting around to working on this violin again.......
As I mentioned way back in April :) (sheepish grin!) the varnish was very difficult to remove. After many hours of scraping the varnish, I have finally finished! YAY!!!
A lot of the varnish soaked into the wood, so there are still a couple of spots that show some of the red dye I talked about earlier.
Here are some pictures:
Next, I will be working on re-graduating the plates to the correct thickness.
Hopefully I will be posting way more often on my progress, so stay tuned!
