Maybe I am strange but I like volins with very, very close growth rings. Everyone says that it does not make a difference but I don't see how it would not. The growth rings are denser than the surrounding wood. I also find that the close ring violins are better looking.

Very nice ! I cant believe this video showed up the day I was studying all the amazing materials my violin making teachers familly gave me after he passed . I found some old brown bottles , and linseed oil and poppyseed oil and dark linseed and some patroleum smelling stuff . The turpinetine that you add at the end is something I will like to have understood more how much and how and stuff . and I was wondering what you meant by the violin was prepared with a Ground ? before its first coat ?

Gosh, I have the same guitar, and need to do this and a refret. It almost seems like it would be easier to just remove the fingerboard, and put a full length shim on, and then refret and dress?

Very interesting. Of course resins were only used because poly hadn't been discovered. U get the exactly the same result with water based dyes and couple of coats of very thin poly. I know, blasphemus but true.

Hello David! Thank you for mentioning Keith Hill as the source for your varnish recipe! It's higly interesting to read what Mr Hill has found out. Do you know any violin maker who is crafting the described area tuning? As for the varnish making I think that the wood ash scheme is the only key to get a perfect varnish the easy way and without unwanted chemistry. I did it slightly different using fir resin and it worked out great. Cheers

It would help if you explained what you did and why you did it. Your yellow writing is too difficult to read and it dorsn't stay on the screen long enough to read. This could have been a much better video.

This varnish looks good but I think I did something wrong the results after many coats look good but the cured article with many coats is very brittle and flakey . What did I do wrong ? Can I adjust the mixture or do I have to start from scratch ?

I followed this recipe to make varnish for the viola that I am currently making . It worked very well to produce a thick Amber varnish . Thank you .

perhaps a silly question: what would happen if, prior to drilling depth holes, one outlined where the bass bar goes and then drilled holes around it, thereby carving out the top plate with the bass bar as one?

No problem getting the chisels sharp, but I can't seem to get a sharp edge on my violin makers' knives. I don't know if I'm using the wrong angle or method of travel (both forward and back and circular motion) on the stone, but I just get a fair amount of sharpness. I really need a razor's edge if I can get it. I thought the steel was possibly inferior but blades are made in Germany and seem strong enough. If you could do a video on sharpening violin makers knives by hand without a jig or special wheels perhaps, I would see what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.
