Blog #44:  Progress on the Violin

Hello all! Well, we are getting some of the very few snowfalls we have had this winter.  It has been a very mild winter here in upstate New York.  I have been very busy working on a violin commission. The progress is going well.  It just goes to show that working with hand tools can be very efficient.

Here you are able to see the makings of a new, handmade violin thus far…
