Thanks. Trying to make it easy for everyone here.

Thanks, Yes I bought the wood. I think we need license to cut the tree. We cut the material for the back out from the tree like a piece of cake, literally, not as an idiom, cutting it out should be hard.. then cut the ribs out from the cakes.

So quarter sawn piece then? Cheers sweetheart for your quick reply. I have made violins using already cut to a violin like shaped outside shape a big thick front, 1 piece spruce, then the same back of the maple, in the same manner, then I ask for the ribs to be done for me, only because, as you just replied that it's disallowed to cut someone else's trees down, unless your are in the forestry commission with a tree surgeon's license, as authorities, now are very strict about this which is totally right. It's hard work chiselling though. I use my grandads huge scoop chisel and his wooden malet. Ooh my back! Anyway cheers, it's got a really sweet powerful tone. I'm a professional violinist for over 40 years. I like bigger bass bars in my violin as in the shaped height. It's something I discovered along my learning experiences with restoring them, then making a few folling the teaching, which was not very clear and it is a real way to learn by mistakes. The violins I was completing where not clear enough and I knew after many years why, after going through lots of restoration work that the best sounding older violins where one's with a slightly sprung and deeper height. Integral bass bars are really awful, some more than others too. Also, narrow middles, the waist part is too narrow and they are nasal violins. Sorry for going on. Just wish I had known what I know now. About the graduations inside and outside. What's your fingerboard made from? Xxxx

Were you thinking about making violins or making money?

@MekwokStudio a little bit of both. It looks relaxing, making a violin. But that's me.

Hey, Just see you comment now! Thanks for purchasing!

Thank you very much!

@@MekwokStudio Not at all champ, you are a blessed being.

Thanks. Building a cello is harder than building a violin.

@@MekwokStudio Where do you get your tonewood from?

Thank you.

That’s very true.

Still a good start🤣

Infesting succeeded.

Very important!

@@MekwokStudio The greatest computer in the universe is between our ears! 😊 I am excited about making a fiddl…..er, violin! Thank You!

I bought it. I heard some people would cut axe a string.

Just hammer it out. There is space.

Just look at it and you will see. It’s very easy to spot.

Thanks a lot!

La gubia es una herramienta muy difícil de manejar….

Thank you!
