Varnish process has begun on the 5-string fiddle

Sunday, July 8, 2012

I applied the ground/sealer coat late last night, and left the fiddle hanging in the shed all day, where it got pretty hot today. It is nearly dry, so I brought it in the house.

Tomorrow night, I anticipate adding the first layer of varnish...actually, probably a coat of propolis, first, to try to make the front color match the back a little more closely, then the first coat of varnish. I posted photos over in the forum. Pretty maple, isn't it? I hope it sounds as good as it looks. :-)
